Medicine Overview of Oryza 0.15%w/v Mouthwash
Introduction
Oryza is a pain relieving medicine. It is used to relieve pain, discomfort, and inflammation of the mouth, gums, and throat. It provides relief from pain and swelling and aids in speeding up the healing process. Oryza should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Use it in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. You should not use more medicine or apply it more often than prescribed by your doctor. This will not make it work any faster and may increase side effects. It is usually safe with little or no side effects. However, it may cause burning sensation and skin irritation at the site of application in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. If they do not get better with time or worsen, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms. Before using the medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines for the same condition or other diseases. To make sure the medicine is safe, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using the medicine.

How Oryza works
Oryza is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) in the mouth.
What if you forget to take Oryza?
If you miss a dose of Oryza, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
Oryza is used to relieve pain and inflammation (redness and swelling) of mouth, gums, and throat.
It is meant for mouth rinse or gargle only. Spit the rinse out after use, do not swallow it.
It should generally be used undiluted. If it makes your mouth sting, you can dilute it with an equal volume of water before use.
Avoid getting it in your eyes. If you accidentally get it in your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Do not use it for more than seven days, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

Contraindication
Benzydamine Hydrochloride is contraindicated in subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Mode of Action
Benzydamine Hydrochloride predominantly acts by inhibiting the synthesis of pro inflammatory cytokines like tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) without largely affecting other pro inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, it is capable of a local anaesthetic effect that may be related to its capability for inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators like substance P.
Precaution
The use of undiluted benzydamine Hydrochloride may produce local irritation manifested by burning sensation in patients with mucosal defects. If necessary, it may be diluted (1:1) with lukewarm water. Since it is absorbed from the oral mucosa and excreted mostly unchanged in the urine, a possibility of its systemic action has to be considered in patients with renal impairment.
