What is OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.


Benzocaine topical is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, teething pain, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. Benzocaine is also used to numb the skin or surfaces inside the mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.


There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Benzocaine topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?


There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Benzocaine topical used in the mouth or throat may cause a life-threatening condition in which the amount of oxygen in your blood stream becomes dangerously low. This condition is called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a) and it may occur after only one use of benzocaine or after several uses.

Signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using benzocaine topical in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS: headache, tired feeling, confusion, fast heart rate, and feeling light-headed or short of breath, with a pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.


Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia in the past. Do not use this medicine on a child younger than 2 years old without medical advice. An overdose of numbing medications can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This is more likely to occur when using a numbing medicine without the advice of a medical doctor (such as during a cosmetic procedure like laser hair removal). Overdose symptoms may include uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).

Use the smallest amount of this medication needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical, or cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice. Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.


Your body may absorb more of this medication if you use too much, if you apply it over large skin areas, or if you apply heat, bandages, or plastic wrap to treated skin areas. Skin that is cut or irritated may also absorb more topical medication than healthy skin.

Before using benzocaine topical, tell your doctor if you have any type of inherited enzyme deficiency, heart disease, a breathing disorder such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, or if you smoke.


If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.


What should I discuss with my health care provider before using OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?


Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia in the past. An overdose of numbing medications can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This is more likely to occur when using a numbing medicine without the advice of a medical doctor (such as during a cosmetic procedure like laser hair removal). Overdose symptoms may include uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:



  • asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorder;




  • heart disease;




  • a personal or family history of methemoglobinemia, or any genetic (inherited) enzyme deficiency; or




  • if you smoke.




FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether benzocaine topical will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.. It is not known whether benzocaine topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not use this medicine on a child younger than 2 years old without medical advice.

How should I use OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.


Your body may absorb more of this medication if you use too much, if you apply it over large skin areas, or if you apply heat, bandages, or plastic wrap to treated skin areas. Skin that is cut or irritated may also absorb more topical medication than healthy skin.

Use the smallest amount of medicine needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical, or cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice. Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.


This medication comes with instructions for safe and effective application. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.


To treat minor skin conditions, apply a thin layer of benzocaine topical to the affected area up to 4 times per day. If using the spray, hold the container 6 to 12 inches away from the skin. Do not spray this medication onto your face. Spray it instead on your hands and then rub it onto the face, avoiding contact with your eyes.


To treat hemorrhoids, clean the area with soap and water before applying benzocaine topical. Apply the medication up to 6 times per day. If you are using the rectal suppository, try to empty your bowel and bladder before inserting the suppository. Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.


Do not use benzocaine topical to treat large skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Avoid using the medicine on skin that is raw or blistered, such as a severe burn or abrasion.

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse within the first 7 days of using benzocaine topical. Also call your doctor if your symptoms had cleared up but then came back.


If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.


Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since benzocaine topical is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of benzocaine topical applied to the skin can cause life-threatening side effects such as uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).

What should I avoid while taking OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?


Avoid eating within 1 hour after using benzocaine topical on your gums or inside your mouth.


Benzocaine topical is for use only on the surface of your body, or just inside the mouth, vagina, or rectum. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. Avoid swallowing the gel, liquid, or ointment while applying it to your gums or the inside of your mouth. The throat spray or oral lozenge may be swallowed gradually during use.

Do not apply other medications to the same affected areas you treat with benzocaine topical, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.


OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical) side effects


Benzocaine topical used in the mouth or throat may cause a life-threatening condition in which the amount of oxygen in your blood stream becomes dangerously low. This condition is called methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a) and it may occur after only one use of benzocaine or after several uses.

Signs and symptoms may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using benzocaine topical in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE:



  • headache, tired feeling, confusion;




  • fast heart rate;




  • feeling light-headed or short of breath; and




  • pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.




Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using benzocaine topical and call your doctor at once if you have any of these other serious side effects:

  • headache, weakness, dizziness, breathing problems, fast heart rate, and gray or bluish colored skin (rare but serious side effects of benzocaine);




  • severe burning, stinging, or sensitivity where the medicine is applied;




  • swelling, warmth, or redness; or




  • oozing, blistering, or any signs of infection.



Less serious side effects may include:



  • mild stinging, burning, or itching where the medicine is applied;




  • skin tenderness or redness; or




  • dry white flakes where the medicine was applied.



This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.


What other drugs will affect OraMagic Plus (benzocaine topical)?


It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied benzocaine topical. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.

Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine


Pronunciation: DYE-fen-HYE-dra-meen/FEN-il-EF-rin
Generic Name: Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.


Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine is used for:

Temporarily relieving symptoms of hay fever, allergies, or the common cold, including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose and throat, and itchy/watery eyes. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine is an antihistamine and decongestant combination. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The decongestant promotes sinus and nasal drainage, relieving congestion and pressure.


Do NOT use Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine

  • you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the past 14 days

  • you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, a rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine:


Some medical conditions may interact with Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have a fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat

  • if you have a history of glaucoma; high blood pressure; diabetes; heart problems; ulcers; stroke; asthma; an overactive thyroid; seizures; a blockage of the stomach, bowel, or bladder; trouble breathing when you sleep; trouble sleeping; lung problems (eg, emphysema); the blood disease porphyria; an enlarged prostate or other prostate problems; adrenal gland problems; or blood vessel problems; or if you have difficulty urinating

  • if you have a chronic cough or if your cough occurs with large amounts of mucus

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (eg, tolcapone), indomethacin, furazolidone, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because side effects such as severe headache, high blood pressure, or high fever may occur

  • Bromocriptine or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of their side effects or toxic effects may be increased by Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine

  • Guanethidine, guanadrel, mecamylamine, methyldopa, or reserpine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine.

  • Digoxin or droxidopa because side effects such as irregular heartbeat or heart attack may occur

  • Urinary alkalinizers (eg, sodium bicarbonate) because they may increase the risk of Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine's side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine:


Use Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine.



Important safety information:


  • Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Do not drink alcohol while you are using Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine. Talk with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.

  • Contact your health care provider if symptoms last for more than 7 days, get worse, or occur with fever, rash, or persistent headache.

  • Diabetes patients - Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.

  • Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine contains phenylephrine and diphenhydramine. Before you begin taking any new prescription or nonprescription medicine, including medicine used on the skin, read the ingredients to see if it has phenylephrine or diphenhydramine in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine may interfere with skin allergy tests. If you are scheduled for a skin test, talk to your doctor. You may need to stop taking Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine for a few days before the tests.

  • Do not take diet or appetite control medicines while you are taking Diphenhydramine/Phenylephrine without checking with your doctor.
