Benzydamine is primarily used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with local anesthetic and analgesic properties. It is commonly applied to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions affecting the mouth and throat, such as sore throats, pharyngitis, and oral mucositis caused by radiation or chemotherapy. The chemical is often available in the form of mouthwashes, sprays, or lozenges, providing targeted relief by reducing swelling and discomfort. Additionally, it is sometimes used in gynecological applications to alleviate pain and inflammation in conditions like vaginitis or post-surgical recovery. Its dual action as an anti-inflammatory and anesthetic makes it effective for managing localized pain and inflammation in various medical contexts.
