Formula Information

This liquid formulation is primarily used for therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of various oral conditions. It is effective in reducing bacteria, controlling plaque, soothing oral irritations, and delivering medication to the oral cavity. The medication is typically used by swishing it around the mouth and then spitting it out, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to note that this medication should not be swallowed.

Aminocaproic Acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that works by preventing the breakdown of blood clots. In the context of oral health, it can be used to manage and prevent oral bleeding, particularly in patients with medical conditions that cause excessive bleeding. This makes it a valuable tool in the management of oral conditions related to bleeding disorders or following dental procedures.

For patients, it is crucial to use this medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. The medication should be swished around the mouth for a specified amount of time, usually around 1-2 minutes, before being spit out. It should not be swallowed. If you experience any side effects or if your symptoms do not improve, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

For prescribers, it is important to consider the patient's overall health status and any other medications they may be taking before prescribing Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid is a medication used to treat various oral conditions. It is important to be aware of potential drug interactions that may occur with this medication. Drug interactions can change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects.

It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.

A product that may interact with Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid is tranexamic acid. Both aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid are antifibrinolytic agents and using them together may increase the risk of clotting complications. Therefore, concurrent use should be avoided.

Also, medications that interfere with the clotting process, such as anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin), antiplatelet drugs (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may interact with Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid. These medications may increase the risk of bleeding if used concurrently with aminocaproic acid.

Estrogens and oral contraceptives may also interact with Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid. These medications can increase the risk of clot formation, and when used with aminocaproic acid, this risk may be further increased.

It's important to note that Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid is used to treat conditions such as bleeding due to fibrinolysis (breakdown of blood clots), which can occur in various diseases such as aplastic anemia, cirrhosis of the liver, and neoplastic disease. It works by blocking the breakdown of blood clots, thereby controlling bleeding.

Remember, this is not a complete list of possible drug interactions. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine if any of your medications may interact with Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid.

If you have any questions or concerns about the potential interactions of Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid with other medications or substances, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to assist you.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid is a specially formulated medication designed for oral use. It is primarily used for treating various oral conditions, reducing bacteria, controlling plaque, soothing oral irritations, and delivering medication to the oral cavity. The medication is typically used by swishing it around the mouth and then spitting it out, as directed by a healthcare professional.

The active ingredient in this formulation, Aminocaproic Acid, works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, a molecule responsible for the degradation of fibrin. Fibrin is a protein that forms a mesh-like structure during the clotting process, helping to prevent excessive bleeding. By inhibiting plasmin, Aminocaproic Acid helps to stabilize the fibrin, thereby promoting clot formation and reducing bleeding.

This makes Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid particularly effective in treating oral conditions associated with excessive bleeding, such as after dental procedures or in patients with bleeding disorders. It can also be used to manage oral irritations and reduce bacteria and plaque, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if left untreated.

It's important to note that this medication should not be swallowed. It is designed to work directly on the affected areas within the oral cavity, and swallowing it could lead to unwanted side effects. Always use this medication as directed by your healthcare professional, and do not exceed the recommended dosage.

As with any medication, Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider before starting this medication, particularly if you have a history of kidney disease, a history of thromboembolic disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you have any questions about Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid, or if you would like more information about how it works, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Other Uses

In addition to reducing bacteria, controlling plaque, and soothing oral irritations, Aminocaproic Acid 5% Mouth Rinse Liquid has found applications in treating and preventing numerous other conditions. Because of its antifibrinolytic properties, it can be utilized in managing bleeding resulting from various dental procedures including tooth extraction, periodontal surgery, or related to usage of anticoagulant medications. The antifibrinolytic action also makes it a choice of therapy for conditions such as oral ulcers, gingival bleeding, or oral manifestations of systemic diseases that involve abnormal bleeding.

This formulation can also be prescribed off-label for treating hematological disorders like Hemophilia, where it helps to reduce bleeding episodes. Other possible uses include use in the treatment of hereditary angioedema, a condition marked by episodes of swelling in various body parts including the face and airways. In addition, it has been used as an adjuvant therapy in cancer patients who experience bleeding due to low platelets counts or platelet dysfunction, to help control bleeding.

It is essential that this product is used as directed by a healthcare professional and that the user doesn’t swallow the product but instead swishes it around then spits it out. This is to ensure that the medicine has the desired effect. If it’s not used as directed, it could lead to potential risks and complications for the patient.

Overall, while this formulation is primarily designed for oral health, its wide range of applications demonstrates its versatility in managing a variety of conditions requiring blood clot stabilization or prevention of excessive bleeding, within a healthcare professional's guidance.
