    Benzydamine (Difflam Spray) was ordered on December 9, 2015 to be taken three times daily to relieve inflammation in the oral mucosa and treat conditions like gingivitis, stomatitis, and ulcers. It works by selectively binding to inflamed tissues and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis without causing ulceration like NSAIDs. Potential side effects include numbness, rash, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. It should not be used by children under 12 or swallowed, and use should generally not exceed 7 days without medical supervision.
