Protein BindingThis pharmacokinetic property has not been fully studied.
Pharmacodynamics · 1 item

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.

Mechanism of Action · 1 item

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.

Biological Half-LifeThis pharmacokinetic property has not been fully studied.
Metabolism/MetabolitesDichlorobenzyl alcohol is metabolized in the liver to form hippuric acid.
