Hi,

Anbesol Gel contains benzocaine, a local anesthetic for application to gums. Hence, it can be taken with pain killer - Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen (5/500mg). There is no known drug interaction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
