Properties:
NSAID for local use, belongs to the indazoles group. It has anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic effects. It has an antiseptic effect against a wide range of microorganisms.
The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with the stabilization of cell membranes and inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.
Benzydamine has an antibacterial effect due to rapid penetration through the membranes of microorganisms, followed by damage to cellular structures, disruption of metabolic processes and cell lysosomes.
