What is Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine) used for?

Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine) is a topical gel which is used to treat mouth ulcers and alleviate the pain caused by them. It contains the active ingredient benzocaine, a local anesthetic that works by blocking the nerve signals sent by your body. By blocking the nerve signals, this gel helps to numb the local area to which it is applied, making it ideal for treating mouth ulcers.

How should I use Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine)?

Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine) is applied directly to the mouth ulcer. Due to the gel's anesthetic properties, you should take care not to use too much gel and only to apply it to the ulcer. Patients should consult their physician before using this medication, in order to determine the frequency at which they should apply the gel.

What are the side effects of Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine)?

Some patients using Mucopain Gel (Benzocaine) have experienced mild stinging or burning where the cream has been applied. You should see a physician immediately if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects:

• Severe stinging where the gel was applied
• Blistering or any other signs of infection
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Difficulty breathing

In extremely rare cases this medication has been known to cause the oxygen levels of the blood to become dangerously low, a condition known as methemoglobinemia. Should you notice an increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and/or blue or gray colored skin or fingernails, you should seek emergency medical attention.
