Orajel Medicated Cold Sore Brush

Orajel Medicated Cold Sore Brush Review

Orajel medicated brush is a pen-like product that delivers targeted pain relief and medication to manage the symptoms of cold sores.

How Does Orajel Medicated Brush work?
Users remove the cap and use the brush to apply medication directly to cold sores. Orajel contains a strong anesthetic and quickly reduces pain. Orajel also contains skin moisturizers and natural ingredients that promote wound healing.

Orajel Safety
The pain relief ingredient in Orajel is benzocaine, a commonly used local anesthetic. Benzocaine is used to treat wounds, swimmer’s ear, and can be found in cough drops. Although benzocaine is found in many mediations, it can cause a methomeoglboinemia, a serious blood disorder which reduces the amount of oxygen available for the body. Nausea and choking are also potential side effects of oral benzocaine medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned against using oral benzocaine products, especially for patients who smoke or have a family history of respiratory problems, heart disease, or methomeoglboinemia.

Orajel Medicated Brush Conclusion
Orajel may be effective at reducing cold sores and relieving associated pain, but this product has severe potential side effects and should be used with care. Users should not eat within one hour of application and must be careful to avoid overdosing.
