Mechanism of Action

BENZOCAINE
Benzocaine binds to sodium channels and reversibly stabilizes the neuronal membrane which decreases its permeability to sodium ions. Depolarization of the neuronal membrane is inhibited thereby blocking the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses
ANTIPYRINE
Antipyrine is thought to act primarily in the cns, increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting both isoforms of cyclooxygenase, cox-1, cox-2, and cox-3 enzymes involved in prostaglandin (pg) synthesis
