Hascosept (Benzydamine Hydrochloride)

Hascosept is indicated for the symptomatic relief of several oral and pharyngeal conditions where inflammation causes pain or discomfort.

• Relief of oral mucosal inflammation such as gingivitis or mucositis
• Management of pharyngitis‑related throat irritation
• Treatment of stomatitis and related mouth sores
• Alleviation of pain from minor mouth ulcers
• Supportive care for postoperative oral discomfort

Side effects of Hascosept are generally mild and limited to the site of application, but rare serious reactions can occur.

Common

• Transient burning or stinging sensation
• Unpleasant taste or metallic after‑taste
• Local irritation or mild redness of the mucosa
• Dry mouth sensation
• Minor swelling at the application site

Serious

• Allergic reactions such as rash or urticaria
• Angioedema involving the lips or tongue
• Severe swelling of the throat causing breathing difficulty
• Anaphylactic shock (rare)
• Persistent or worsening pain despite use

Before using Hascosept, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective use.

• Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to benzydamine hydrochloride or any excipients.
• Pregnancy and lactation status are unknown; consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Keep the product away from the eyes; accidental contact may cause irritation.
• Avoid prolonged continuous use; discontinue if symptoms persist beyond a few days.
• Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children; accidental ingestion may cause systemic effects.

Hascosept may interact with other medications or substances when used concurrently.

Avoid

• Simultaneous use of other topical NSAID preparations in the mouth or throat, which may increase local irritation.
• Use with products containing alcohol or strong antiseptics that could exacerbate mucosal irritation.

Use with caution

• Systemic NSAIDs taken orally, as combined anti‑inflammatory effects may increase risk of adverse events.
• Anticoagulant therapy, especially if oral lesions are present, due to potential bleeding risk.
• Other local anesthetics or analgesic mouth rinses, which may compound numbness or taste disturbances.
• Herbal or over‑the‑counter throat lozenges that contain similar active ingredients.
