Question


  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of benzydamine oral rinse (0.15%) for pain relief in acute sore throat?

  2. What are guidelines informing the use of benzydamine oral rinse (0.15%) for pain relief in acute sore throat?


Key Message

No evidence was identified for the clinical effectiveness of benzydamine oral rinse (0.15%) for pain relief in acute sore throat. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network published a guideline on the pain management for acute sore throat. However no recommendation was produced for the use of benzydamine due to the insufficiency of evidence to support a recommendation.
