Cēpacol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cēpacol was originally a brand of oral anesthetic, known for its cherry flavored throat spray and soother that provided temporary pain relief for an 'itchy' or sore throat. After a strong show in the stock market, Cēpacol began coming out with different health and hygiene products including throat lozenges. The major active ingredients of the sugar-free lozenges are cetylpyridinium chloride, benzocaine (which produces the numbing sensation), and menthol. The major active ingredient in the sore throat sprays is Dyclonine hydrochloride. The product is distributed by J.B. Williams Co., Inc. in Glen Rock, New Jersey.
