You have too much of a reliance on fake info from stale web articles. The only active ingredients in current chloraseptic are benzocaine, menthol, and dextromethorpan hydrobromide. I have a box of the useless kind in front of me. No actual antiseptics any more, just cover up the problem; do nothing actually.

The benzocaine variants are just a different flavor. They're produced in parallel with the original formula.

You have no idea where I get my information, you just don't like anything to contradict your loony ideas. I'm done with this conversation.

You can buy Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray with Phenol on Amazon, if that's the active ingredient you're looking for.

The same active ingredient, phenol, has been used in Chloraseptic since 1953.
