INFORMATION ABOUT AMLEXANOX
Amlexanox Uses
Amlexanox is used in the treatment of mouth ulcers.
How Amlexanox works
Amlexanox is an anti-aphthous ulcer medication. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that cause inflammation (swelling), redness and pain due to mouth sores/ulcers. It does so by sticking to the wet surfaces of the mouth and forming a protective film over the ulcer/injured surfaces. This speeds up healing.
Common side effects of Amlexanox
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
