Benefits:
- Pain Relief: The benzocaine in it provides localized numbing, which helps alleviate pain and discomfort associated with mouth sores, canker sores, and minor oral irritations.
- Protective Barrier: Orabase Gel forms a protective coating over the sore, shielding it from further irritation caused by food, drinks, or saliva. This helps reduce discomfort and promotes healing.
- Quick Action: The paste acts quickly when applied, offering prompt relief from pain and irritation.
- Easy Application: It’s easy to apply directly to the sore, making it convenient for at-home use.
- Non-Prescription Availability: It is typically available over-the-counter, making it accessible for people without a prescription.
- Healing Support: By protecting the sore from additional irritation, it can indirectly support the body’s natural healing process.
Side Effects:
- Temporary Numbness: Since it contains benzocaine, it can cause numbness in areas around the application site, which is generally mild but may feel unusual.
- Allergic Reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions, which could lead to symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. Severe allergic reactions to benzocaine are rare but can be serious.
- Methemoglobinemia: Although very rare, benzocaine can cause methemoglobinemia, a condition where the blood can’t carry enough oxygen. This is more likely if large amounts are used over an extended period or on broken skin. Symptoms include bluish skin, headache, and shortness of breath, and medical attention should be sought immediately if these occur.
- Local Irritation: Some people may experience mild burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site.
- Taste Alteration: A temporary change in taste can occur after applying Orabase, which generally subsides after the paste wears off.
