In vitro studies with the combination of dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol have shown a virucidal against a number of viruses associated with the common cold which is observed by a reduction in the viral load. In clinical trials, administration of dichlorobenzyl alcohol lozenges has been shown to generate a reduced throat soreness and to provide pain relief and relief from difficulty in swallowing 5 minutes after administration. This effect can last for even 2 hours. The relief effect was shown to reach a steady-state after 45 minutes.

The use of dichlorobenzyl alcohol has been related to its antibacterial, antiviral and local anesthetic properties. The local anesthetic action of dichlorobenzyl alcohol is thought to be due to a reduced sodium channel blockade. The antiseptic mechanism of action of dichlorobenzyl alcohol is not fully understood but it is thought to be related to a denaturation of external proteins and rearrangement of the tertiary structure proteins.

Dichlorobenzyl alcohol is released almost immediately from its formulation and reaches peak concentration after 3-4 minutes. The concentration in saliva after 120 minutes represents about 50% of the administered dose.

In preclinical trials, dermal administration of dichlorobenzyl alcohol results in renal elimination of 90% of the administered dose. After metabolism, dichlorobenzyl alcohol is excreted in the urine.
