Oromist spray combines two medicines containing Benzydamine and Chlorhexidine gluconate. Benzydamine, Chlorhexidine gluconate, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It treats pain and inflammation, including swelling, redness, and a feeling of heat in the mouth or throat. It works by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins (increased blood flow to the injured area causes discomfort and swelling). Chlorhexidine gluconate is an antiseptic that binds to the surface of inner cheeks, gums, or teeth and reduces the accumulation of microbes on the oral surface.
