Benzoril Mouthwash: Fresh Breath and Oral Hygiene Support

Benzoril Mouthwash

Uses:

• Sore throat, tongue, or gums;

How it works: Benzoril mouthwash is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that contains 0.15%w/v benzydamine hydrochloride. It treats pain and inflammation by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins, which reduce blood flow to the injured area and thereby alleviate discomfort and swelling.
