Primary Container Label (Watermelon)
This is a description of a topical anesthetic gel containing 20% Benzocaine. It is used for temporary relief of occasional minor irritation and pain in the mouth and throat, including canker sores, minor mouth and gum injuries, and minor dental procedures. However, it comes with a warning that excessive use may cause methemoglobinemia, a condition that reduces the amount of oxygen carried in the blood. If symptoms such as pale or gray skin, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, fatigue, or lack of energy occur, medical attention should be sought immediately. It is not recommended for use in individuals with a history of allergy to local anesthetics. The product should be kept out of reach of children, and if accidentally swallowed in excess, medical help should be obtained. If a sore throat is severe, persists for more than 2 days, or is accompanied by fever, rash, swelling, nausea, or vomiting, medical consultation is advised. It is not suitable for teething or children under 2 years of age. The tube should not be used if punctured or previously opened. Eye contact should be avoided. The manufacturer is Beutlich Pharmaceuticals. Detailed directions and additional information can be found in the Drug Facts section.*
