PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Benzydamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, belongs to the group of indazoles. It has anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic effect, antiseptic action against a wide range of microorganisms.
The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with the stabilization of cell membranes and the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Benzydamine has an antibacterial and specific antimicrobial effect due to the rapid penetration of microorganisms through the membranes, followed by damage to cellular structures, metabolic disorders and cell lysis.
