🩺 Clinical
This is an over-the-counter topical gel marketed under FDA's OTC monograph rules for oral pain relief. It contains benzocaine, a local anesthetic typically used to numb minor mouth and gum discomfort, along with menthol, which produces a cooling sensation often used for pain and soreness relief. The formulation also includes benzalkonium chloride, commonly used as an antimicrobial preservative, and zinc chloride, which appears in oral care products. The gel is applied directly to the affected area inside the mouth.
