General Information



Product introduction
Amlex Oral Paste should be applied as soon as possible after the first signs of a mouth ulcer appear. Use clean, dry fingers to apply a small amount of the medicine directly onto the ulcer, usually after meals and after brushing your teeth. Avoid eating or drinking for at least one hour after applying the medicine so it can work effectively.
Some may feel mild stinging, burning, or pain at the site of application when Amlex Oral Paste is first applied. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. If you develop a rash, worsening mouth irritation, or any unusual reaction, stop using it and consult your doctor.
Do not use Amlex Oral Paste if you are allergic to amlexanox or any of its ingredients. It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. People with liver or kidney problems should use this medicine cautiously and only under medical advice. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
Uses of Amlex Oral Paste
Benefits of Amlex Oral Paste
Mouth ulcers are small, painful sores on the inner lips, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, or throat that may interfere with eating, drinking, and even talking. Amlex Oral Paste helps by forming a coating over the sores and providing relief from the pain, discomfort, and other symptoms of inflammation, such as redness, swelling, or a burning sensation due to mouth ulcers. This makes it easier for you to go about your daily activities.
