Benzydamine spray is a topical treatment that helps get rid of mouth ulcers. It helps to ease your pain right away, as well as making your ulcer heal more quickly.
Mouth ulcers can be painful. They might distract you and make it difficult to eat and drink what you want or brush your teeth. Luckily, they’re easily treatable. Benzydamine spray is a simple and effective treatment for mouth ulcers.
How does Benzydamine spray work?
Benzydamine is a type of medication called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs treat pain by bringing down inflammation, which helps to bring down the swelling and irritation around the ulcer.
It’s a topical NSAID, meaning you spray it straight onto the area you want to treat. It’s also an analgesic. This means it numbs the area it’s applied to, reducing pain. So in a nutshell, Benzydamine spray provides you with instant relief and helps you heal.
What doses of Benzydamine spray are there?
There’s only one concentration of Benzydamine spray, with 0.15% weight by volume of benzydamine. How often you use it and how much you use will depend on how bad your symptoms are.
You can use four to eight sprays at a time, every one and a half to three hours. You shouldn’t use more than this, because it could cause side effects. Don’t use Benzydamine spray for more than seven days at a time.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

How to use Benzydamine spray
Your clinician will let you know how to use Benzydamine spray. Always follow their advice and ask if you have any questions.
Always have the spray bottle upright when using it;
Turn the spray arm 90 degrees in either direction;
If you’re using it for the first time, point the spray arm away from you or anyone else. Then push down hard a few times on the top of the plunger until a fine spray appears. After this, it’s ready to use;
Point the end of the spray arm straight at the ulcer you want to treat. Then press the plunger down firmly. One press is one spray of medication;
Then wipe the end of the spray arm clean so it doesn’t get blocked;
And finally, turn the spray arm back and down into the locked position so it can’t spray accidentally.
How long does it take Benzydamine spray to work?
Benzydamine spray should start helping with your mouth ulcers pretty much immediately. It gives quick relief from the pain of ulcers and can be reapplied within a couple of hours. It also helps bring down the mouth ulcer swelling over time.
You can’t use Benzydamine spray for more than seven days. (But don’t worry, your ulcer should’ve disappeared by then.) If it hasn’t, drop us a message. We’ll help you find the right treatment.
What should I do if I make a mistake while using Benzydamine spray?
If you accidentally swallow some Benzydamine spray, you should be okay. If you swallow a lot, you might have some discomfort in your stomach. Talk to a clinician if you’re worried.
If something blocks the tube in the arm of your Benzydamine spray, don’t try to remove it. Just get a new spray bottle from your clinician.

FAQ: Benzydamine spray
Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
How is Benzydamine spray different from other treatments for mouth ulcers?
Answer:
Treatments for mouth ulcers come in a lot of different forms, like gels, mouthwashes and tablets. Because it’s a spray, you might find Benzydamine spray more convenient to use. A spray can be easier and quicker to use, especially when you’re out and about.
Benzydamine spray also targets the ulcer directly, bringing down pain in the area and helping to heal it. This can be more helpful than tablets like Hydrocortisone buccal tablets or mouthwashes like Chlorhexidine, because you feel targeted relief right away.
Is Benzydamine spray similar to any other treatments?
Answer:
You can also buy Benzydamine to treat mouth ulcers in a different form, which is a mouthwash. Like Benzydamine spray, it has 0.15% weight per volume of the active ingredient benzydamine. But you use it differently. Depending on your preference, you might find one easier to use than another.
Difflam is a very similar treatment to Benzydamine spray. Both treatments contain the same active ingredient, treat mouth ulcers and come as either a spray or a mouthwash. So both treatments work in pretty much the same way. The only real differences are that they have different packaging, prices and names. But you can pick which one you’d rather use to treat your mouth ulcers.
Do I need a prescription for Benzydamine spray?
Answer:
Not exactly. Benzydamine spray is a pharmacy medicine. That means you don’t need a prescription for it, but there are restrictions on how you can buy it. You’ll need to get it from a registered pharmacy after talking with a licensed clinician.
This is just so they can make sure Benzydamine is right for you and that you know how to use it. At Treated, our clinicians can do this for you when you chat to us about your health. We’ll then have your medication delivered straight to your door.
