Lozenge

dosage forms

A local anaesthetic. In a lozenge it numbs the surface of the throat and mouth rather than treating what is causing the pain.

Almost every benzocaine label in this dataset carries a warning about methemoglobinemia, a blood disorder that reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carry. Read the warning on the package. This site reports that the warning is there; it does not interpret it for you.

Counted from the 36 listings on this page. Share is of all products containing Benzocaine, including any at a different unit. Strengths that openFDA records in a different unit are not mixed into this table, because a milligram per lozenge and a percentage by weight are not the same measurement.
