Dyclone

Dyclone Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Dyclone is an oral anaesthetic found in Sucrets, an over the counter throat lozenge. It may also be found in some Cepacol sore throat spray products.

Dyclone is an oral anasthetic. If substantial quantities of local anesthetics are absorbed through the mucosa, actions on the central nervous system (CNS) may cause CNS stimulation and/or CNS depression. Actions on the cardiovascular system may cause depression of cardiac conduction and excitability and, with some of these agents, peripheral vasodilation.

Uses

Dyclone is an topical anesthetic used prior to examination to suppress the gag reflex or for pain relief from canker sores and fever blisters.

Used to provide topical anesthesia of accessible mucous membranes prior to examination, endoscopy or instrumentation, or other procedures involving the esophagus, larynx, mouth, pharynx or throat, respiratory tract or trachea, urinary tract, or vagina. Also used to suppress the gag reflex and/or other laryngeal and esophageal reflexes to facilitate dental examination or procedures (including oral surgery), endoscopy, or intubation. Also used for relief of canker sores, cold sores or fever blister.

Dyclone is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Cough, Mouth irritation, Sore Throat

How Dyclone works

Local anesthetics block both the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses by decreasing the neuronal membrane's permeability to sodium ions. This reversibly stabilizes the membrane and inhibits depolarization, resulting in the failure of a propagated action potential and subsequent conduction blockade.

Toxicity

Symptoms of overdose include cardiovascular system depression, CNS toxicity, and methemoglobinemia.

Food Interaction

  • Take separate from meals. Using Dyclone in the mouth or for relief of ulcers in the stomach may cause numbness of the mouth, which increases the risk of biting injury. Avoid ingesting food for 60 minutes after use, or until the numbness has subsided.

Elimination Route

Readily absorbed through mucous membranes into the systemic circulation. The rate of absorption is influenced by the vascularity or rate of blood flow at the site of application, the total dosage (concentration and volume) administered, and the duration of exposure. Absorption from mucous membranes of the throat or respiratory tract may be especially rapid.

Half Life

Approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
