Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and anti-exudative properties.
Clinical studies have shown that benzydamine is effective in relieving symptoms accompanying localized irritating pathological processes in the oral cavity and pharynx. Additionally, benzydamine has anti-inflammatory and local analgesic effects on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.
Pharmacokinetics
The fact of absorption through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and pharynx has been proven by the presence of measurable amounts of benzydamine in human plasma. However, this is not sufficient for a systemic pharmacological effect. Benzydamine is excreted mainly with urine, predominantly in the form of inactive metabolites or conjugated compounds.
It has been shown that with local application, an effective concentration of benzydamine is achieved in inflamed tissues due to its ability to penetrate the mucous membrane.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
For symptomatic treatment of irritations and inflammations of the oropharynx; pain caused by gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis; in stomatology, apply after tooth extraction or for prophylactic purposes.
Contraindications
Increased sensitivity to the active substance or to other components of the medicinal product.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
No interaction studies have been conducted.
Special warnings and precautions for use
In case of sensitivity during prolonged use, treatment should be discontinued and a doctor consulted to prescribe appropriate treatment.
In some patients, ulcers of the mucous membrane of the cheeks/pharynx may be caused by serious pathological processes. In this regard, patients whose symptoms have worsened or have not decreased within 3 days, or who have an increased body temperature or other symptoms, should consult a therapist or dentist.
It is not recommended to apply benzydamine to patients with hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid or to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The use of the drug may cause bronchospasm in patients with bronchial asthma or with a history of bronchial asthma. Such patients should be warned about this.
This medicinal product contains methylparaben (E 218), which may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed), and in individual cases, bronchospasm.
For athletes: this medicinal product contains a small amount of ethanol (alcohol) - less than 100 mg/dose. The use of medicinal products containing ethyl alcohol may give a positive result in anti-doping tests, considering the limit values established by some sports federations.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Currently, there are no adequate available data on the use of benzydamine in pregnant women and breastfeeding women. The ability of this agent to penetrate into breast milk has not been studied. The data from animal studies are insufficient to draw any conclusions about the effect of this agent during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The potential risk to humans is unknown.
The medicinal product Milistan Pharyngo Forte should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Overdose
There have been no reports of benzydamine overdose when used locally.

Characteristic signs of overdose after ingestion are gastroenterological symptoms (most often nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irritation of the esophagus) and symptoms from the central nervous system (dizziness, hallucinations, excitement, anxiety, and irritability).
It has been reported that benzydamine, when ingested in large doses (which is hundreds of times higher than the possible doses of this medicinal form), especially in children, caused excitement, convulsions, tremors, nausea, increased sweating, ataxia, and vomiting. Such acute overdose requires immediate gastric lavage, treatment of disturbances of water-electrolyte balance, and symptomatic treatment, adequate hydration.
