lidocaine + dexamethasone + honey

This is a combination formulation containing lidocaine, dexamethasone, and honey. Lidocaine is an amide-type local anesthetic that blocks sodium channels in neuronal membranes, inhibiting nerve impulse conduction and providing local anesthesia. Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant properties; it acts by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor and modulating gene expression to suppress inflammatory mediators. Honey has natural antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties due to its high osmolarity, hydrogen peroxide content, and bioactive compounds. This combination may be used topically or as an oral rinse for symptomatic relief of pain (such as oral mucositis), inflammation reduction, or wound healing in various clinical settings[1][3][6]. The addition of lidocaine provides rapid pain relief through local anesthesia; dexamethasone reduces inflammation; honey supports mucosal healing.
