Hello,

Cepastat contains Phenol as active ingredient used as local anesthetic. Other
inactive Ingredients are Antifoam Emulsion, Flavor and coloring agents, Gum Crystal, Menthol, Saccharin Sodium, and Sorbitol. Do avoid agents when a previous allergy is already known.

Could you please specify your exact disability. In certain cases such conditions also interfere with the metabolisim of phenol in the body.

Hope this information helps.

Take care
