BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE is a combination medicine used to treat gingivitis, mouth ulcers and mouth infections. Gingivitis is gum inflammation caused by bacteria; if left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis (gum infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone); this can cause the gum to separate from teeth leading to loss of teeth. Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful lesions that develop in the mouth or gums' base. Mouth infections occur due to the overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth.
BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE contains Benzoxonium chloride and lidocaine. Benzoxonium chloride is an antiseptic that suppresses the growth of microorganisms in the mouth, thus preventing infections. Lidocaine provides numbing effects and helps in reducing pain sensation.
Use BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE as advised by the doctor. Sometimes, BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE may cause a burning sensation, dry mouth, metallic taste, and teeth staining. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Do not use BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE if you are allergic to any ingredients present in it. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid using BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE for a prolonged duration. Do not use BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE in children unless prescribed by the doctor. It is advised not to eat or drink immediately after using BENZOXONIUM CHLORIDE+LIDOCAINE. Maintain good oral hygiene and brush twice daily to avoid infection.

Gingivitis: Gingivitis is periodontal or gum disease with swollen and bleeding gums, which can be caused due to various bacteria; if left untreated can lead to periodontitis and, eventually, loss of teeth. Its signs and symptoms include bleeding from gums, swollen gums, a loose tooth and sometimes foul oral smell.
Mouth ulcers: Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful lesions that develop in the mouth or at the base of the gums. These can make you uncomfortable while eating, drinking, and talking. Mouth ulcers usually heal within a few weeks and are not contagious. People with a family history of canker sores are more likely to develop mouth ulcers. Minor mouth injury from dental work or hard brushing, acidic foods, lack of essential vitamins, dental braces, emotional stress, and viral, bacterial or fungal infections could be a cause of developing mouth ulcers.
Mouth infections: Mouth infections occur due to the overgrowth of bacteria in the mouth. Symptoms include swollen gums, bad breath, teeth sensitivity, and unpleasant taste changes.
