Medicinal Benefits

Bensalen Plus Mouth Wash 450 ml is a combination medication containing Benzydamine (anti-inflammatory) and Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic). Bensalen Plus Mouth Wash 450 ml is primarily used to treat mouth infections. When microorganisms overgrow the otherwise normally present mouth, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms like mouth sores or ulcers, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, and suggestive mouth infections. Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorhexidine helps by binding to the inner surface of teeth and cheeks. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, tartar, and other mouth infections. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained, and it is easier to go out and perform daily activities.
