Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Capsaicin 0.01% Oral Rinse is a specially compounded medication designed to alleviate a range of oral conditions. This therapeutic liquid solution is primarily used for the treatment of oral mucositis, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. It is formulated with capsaicin, a natural compound extracted from chili peppers, known for its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

The mechanism of action of capsaicin involves the inhibition of substance P, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in transmitting pain signals to the brain. By blocking this neurotransmitter, capsaicin effectively reduces pain and inflammation associated with various oral conditions.

Using Capsaicin 0.01% Oral Rinse is straightforward and can be done at home. The recommended usage involves swishing the solution in the mouth for about 30 seconds, twice a day. It's worth noting that initial use may cause a mild burning sensation, which is a normal reaction and should diminish after a few days of consistent use.

This oral rinse is safe for both adults and children and has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing inflammation and pain associated with oral mucositis, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. It offers a non-invasive, easy-to-use, and effective treatment option for patients suffering from these conditions.
