Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Apply topically only; do not swallow. Use a piece of cotton wool as an applicator.

Apply 2-3 single doses onto the cotton wool and place it directly onto or against the affected tooth and the surrounding gum area.

This application can be repeated as needed for pain relief, but it is for temporary use only until a dentist can be consulted.

Adverse Reactions

Local reactions: at the application site, allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or redness may occur.

Direct contact with the oral mucosa can cause a transient but noticeable burning sensation.

Discontinue use immediately and rinse the mouth thoroughly with water if severe irritation or any signs of a hypersensitivity reaction develop.

Drug Interactions

Formal drug interaction studies have not been conducted due to the topical route of administration and local action.

Consider the potential for additive sedative effects with other central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol, barbiturates, or benzodiazepines, although systemic absorption is expected to be low.

Inform your physician about all other medications you are taking before using this product.

Contraindications

  • Hypersensitivity to camphor, peppermint oil, valerian tincture, or any other component of the formulation.
  • Pregnancy at any trimester due to the lack of safety data and the known risks associated with ingredients like camphor.
  • The period of breastfeeding (lactation) to prevent the transfer of active components to the infant.
  • Use in children under 12 years of age because of a higher risk of accidental ingestion and increased sensitivity to the effects of camphor.

Overdose

In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical attention or contact a Poison Control Center.

Symptoms of camphor overdose may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, and seizures.

There is no specific antidote; treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Do not induce vomiting.
