Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the numbing effect of Soothee last?
The numbing effect typically lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes after application, providing temporary relief from teething pain or other mouth irritations.
Can I use Soothee for my infant's teething pain?
Yes, Soothee can be used for teething pain in infants, but it is important to follow dosing recommendations and avoid overuse, as infants are more susceptible to side effects like methemoglobinemia.
What should I do if my child swallows Soothee?
If your child swallows a small amount of Soothee, monitor them for any unusual symptoms. In most cases, small amounts are not harmful. However, if your child exhibits symptoms such as difficulty breathing, confusion, or a bluish tint to the skin, seek medical attention immediately.
Can I use Soothee if I have mouth sores?
Yes, Soothee is commonly used to relieve pain from mouth ulcers (canker sores). Apply it directly to the sore, but avoid using it on large or open wounds.
Is it safe to use Soothee along with other teething remedies?
It's important to avoid combining multiple teething remedies containing benzocaine or other anesthetics to prevent overdose. Consult your healthcare provider for safe options if additional relief is needed.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Soothee Work?
Soothee contains benzocaine, a local anesthetic that works by blocking sodium channels on nerve membranes. This prevents the initiation and transmission of nerve signals responsible for pain, thereby numbing the applied area and providing temporary relief from discomfort.
Common Dosages
- Soothee is available in a gel form with 7.5% to 20% benzocaine, depending on the formulation.
Typical Dosing
- For teething or mouth pain, apply a small amount of Soothee gel directly to the affected area up to four times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Avoid using more than recommended, especially in young children, due to the risk of side effects from overuse.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Teething pain in infants and young children.
- Mouth ulcers (canker sores).
- Minor irritations in the mouth or gums caused by dentures or orthodontic appliances.
Who Shouldn't Take Soothee?
- Hypersensitivity to benzocaine or any other local anesthetics.
- Children under 2 years old without the advice of a healthcare provider.
- Methemoglobinemia, a rare but serious blood disorder that can be triggered by benzocaine, particularly in young children or those with underlying health conditions.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Soothee only as directed on the label or by a healthcare provider. Avoid using it more frequently than recommended, especially in infants, as overuse can lead to serious side effects.
- Do not apply Soothee to large areas of the body or to open wounds, as this increases the risk of systemic absorption and side effects.
- If your child has difficulty breathing, becomes pale or gray in color, or experiences dizziness after using Soothee, seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of methemoglobinemia.
Side Effects of Soothee
Common Side Effects
- Mild stinging or burning at the application site
- Temporary numbness of the mouth or gums
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Methemoglobinemia: A rare but serious condition where the blood cannot carry enough oxygen, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, blue or gray skin, fatigue, and confusion.
- Allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling.
Risks and Warnings of Soothee
- Methemoglobinemia Risk: Benzocaine has been associated with rare cases of methemoglobinemia, a condition that reduces oxygen levels in the blood. Children under 2 years old are at higher risk, and it is important to monitor for symptoms such as bluish skin or lips, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
- Overuse: Overuse of benzocaine products can lead to excessive absorption and increase the risk of serious side effects. Follow the recommended dosing and avoid applying it to large areas or broken skin.
Interactions with Soothee
Common Drug Interactions
- Oxidizing agents: The risk of methemoglobinemia may be increased if used with other medications that can oxidize hemoglobin, such as dapsone or nitrates.
Alternatives to Soothee
- Orajel: Another over-the-counter benzocaine-based gel used for relieving teething and mouth pain.
- Bonjela (choline salicylate): A gel used to relieve teething and mouth ulcer pain, though it does not contain benzocaine.
- Tylenol (acetaminophen): An oral pain reliever that can be used to reduce teething pain and discomfort, though it works systemically rather than topically.
- Cold teething rings: These provide non-medicated relief for teething discomfort.
