Amylmetacresol BP/EP Cas No: 1300-94-3

Amylmetacresol is a phenolic, over-the-counter antiseptic and antibacterial agent. It is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in medicated throat lozenges and sprays to soothe sore throats, minor mouth infections, and oral discomfort

How it Works
Amylmetacresol provides symptomatic relief and fights infection through several mechanisms:
Antiseptic & Antibacterial: It kills bacteria associated with upper respiratory and throat infections.
Virucidal Action: In vitro studies show it can help reduce the infectivity of certain enveloped viruses in the throat.
Pain Relief: It acts similarly to a local anesthetic by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, numbing the irritated or inflamed area.
