How Benzonac Dental Gel works
Benzonac Gel is a combination of two medicines: Diclofenac and Benzocaine. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by suppressing the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and pain. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic which blocks pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.
