Dichlorobenzyl alcohol is an antiseptic substance often used in combination with amylmetacresol in throat lozenges for the symptomatic relief of mouth and throat infections. It acts as a local antibacterial and antiviral agent. While it is not approved as a systemic medication or as a stand-alone pharmaceutical in most countries, it continues to be used in over-the-counter throat lozenges.
No pharmacokinetic parameters for dichlorobenzyl alcohol in humans are available in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Therefore, the following parameters are unreported and unavailable.
