- pharmacologypharmacology:
- mechanism: The mechanism of action is unknown. It is thought topically applied bentoquatam acts as a physical barrier that interferes with the adsorption of antigens onto the skin and reduces absorption of antigens into the skin. It probably does not work by modifying the systemic allergic response.
- toxicity: Rare side effects include mild erythema (mild redness of skin).
