1. What is Bucospray and what is it used for

This medication combines the antiseptic action of chlorhexidine with the local anesthetic action of benzocaine. While the antiseptic provides disinfection in the buco-pharyngeal area, the local anesthetic relieves pain and calms discomfort.

Indicated for adults and children from 6 years old for the symptomatic relief of mild mouth and throat infections that occur without fever and with pain, such as: throat irritation, hoarseness, small wounds, and canker sores.

You should consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 2 days of treatment.

2. What you need to know before taking Bucospray

Do not use BUCOSPRAY

  • If you are allergic to chlorhexidine, benzocaine, or any other component of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • If you do not tolerate other local anesthetics like para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), parabens, or para-phenylenediamine (a hair dye component).

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use BUCOSPRAY

  • If you have any serious or extensive injury in the mouth.
  • If you have periodontitis (gum disease), as chlorhexidine may increase supragingival calculus.
  • Do not take higher doses than recommended in section 3 (How to take BUCOSPRAY).
  • If you have asthma
  • Do not use before eating or drinking.
  • If you have dental fillings and the surface of the filling or its edges are rough, chlorhexidine can cause permanent discoloration.
  • It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene to reduce plaque accumulation and possible tooth discoloration that may be caused by chlorhexidine.

Interference with analytical tests

If you are going to undergo any diagnostic test (including blood tests, urine tests, skin tests using allergens, etc.), inform your doctor that you are using this medication, as it may alter the results.

This medication may interact with pancreatic function tests using bentiromide. Do not take this medication at least 3 days before the test and inform your doctor.

Children

This medication should not be used in children under 6 years old.

Between 6 and 12 years old, it can only be used under adult supervision.

Using BUCOSPRAY with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Although not described in the recommended usage conditions, do not use with other mouth or throat medications without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

This is especially important in the case of:

  • Other mouth or throat antiseptics.
  • Cholinesterase inhibitor medications (medications for Alzheimer's disease).
  • Sulfonamides (used for infections).

Anionic compounds and suspending agents, common components of toothpastes, reduce the effectiveness of chlorhexidine, so the mouth should be rinsed well after using toothpaste.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Using this medication does not affect your ability to drive or operate machines.
