It is a topical anesthetic that acts by suppressing pain when applied externally to the area of the mouth to be treated.
It is indicated for the local relief of dental or mouth pain, such as that caused by rubbing of prostheses, extractions, small oral wounds, canker sores, and small ulcers in adults and children from 6 years old.
You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 2 days of treatment.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Hurricaine Spray

This medicine may interact with:
- Sulfonamides (medicines for treating infections): they should not be used at the same time as benzocaine, as they may decrease the antibacterial effect of sulfonamides.
- Medicines containing hyaluronidase: they should not be used at the same time as benzocaine, as they may increase the adverse effects of benzocaine.
- Medicines containing cholinesterase, used to treat diseases such as Alzheimer's, myasthenia gravis, or glaucoma, because when used at the same time, they may inhibit the metabolism of benzocaine.
- Other local anesthetics.
- In people sensitive to benzocaine, hair dyes of the paraphenylenediamine type may cause severe contact dermatitis.
Use of Hurricaine Spray with food and drinks

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Do not use benzocaine during pregnancy.
It is not known if benzocaine is excreted in breast milk, so breastfeeding women should not use this medicine.
