Benzydamine Mouthwash/gel contains benzydamine hydrochloride, one of a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Benzydamine works in the throat or mouth to help stop pain and inflammation (redness, swelling and a feeling of heat). It does this by stopping theformation of prostaglandins. Chlorhexidine is a cationic surfactant synthetic biguanide with broad-spectrum antibacterial and less pronounced antifungal activity. It disrupts microbial cell membranes and coagulates cytoplasmic proteins.
