About Tantum Oral Rinse

Tantum Oral Rinse belongs to a group of medicines known as 'pain killers primarily used to relieve pain, discomfort, and inflammation of the mouth, gums, and throat. It is used to treat oral mucositis (inflammation due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy), and mouth sores. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go.

Tantum Oral Rinse contains Benzydamine which is used to relieve pain and discomfort. It works by blocking the release of chemicals (prostaglandins) that are responsible for pain sensation and inflammation. It also forms a coating over the sores and hence helps in providing relief from pain, discomfort, and symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, or burning sensation due to mouth ulcers. Hence, it helps to perform daily activities with comfort.
