How Bensodyl Mouth Wash works
Bensodyl 7.5mg/6mg Mouth Wash is a combination of two medicines: benzydamine and chlorhexidine gluconate, which treat mouth infections. Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorhexidine gluconate is an antiseptic. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks, and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, tartar, and other mouth infections.
