🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines a local anesthetic and an antiseptic. Benzocaine works by reversibly blocking sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, which prevents the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses, thereby producing local anesthesia. Chlorhexidine gluconate acts as an antiseptic by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, causing leakage of intracellular components and leading to bacterial cell death. Together, they provide pain relief and reduce the risk of infection.
