Loroben

No cat dose: Loroben is a human mouth rinse with two substances. No label, consensus or clinical study gives a cat dose for this combination, no identical product has a cat label, and a combination is never dosed from its components. The human label says it must be spat out, not swallowed, which an animal cannot be asked to do. Published cat work on benzydamine covers liver enzymes and toxicology, not treatment. In people it is used for gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, aphthous lesions and mucositis, and to prevent plaque. Excipients (from the same maker's Kloroben SPC; Loroben's own leaflet not seen): propylene glycol and sorbitol 70 %, about 10 % each, peppermint essence and a cooling aroma of undisclosed composition; no ethanol or xylitol listed. Cats fed propylene glycol at 6-12 % of the diet formed Heinz bodies with shorter red-cell survival, and the US FDA bars it from cat food; those were repeated daily amounts, not a single lick. No dog or cat data on peppermint at this level.
