Amylmetacresol

An antiseptic derived from m-cresol with a pentyl (amyl) chain, studied as early as the 1930s and used in throat lozenges, usually with dichlorobenzyl alcohol, for sore throat and minor mouth and throat infections. This family brings together the active ingredient and pharmacopoeial impurities.

Did you know?Besides acting on bacteria and some viruses, it blocks sodium channels much like local anaesthetics do: an effect that may explain the relief it brings to a sore throat.
