Lexanox Plus Oral Paste, 5 gm

Lexanox Plus Oral Paste is used in the treatment of Mouth ulcers. The detailed uses of Lexanox Plus Oral Paste are as follows:

• Mouth Ulcers (Canker Sores): Lexanox Plus Oral Paste helps by forming a protective layer over the ulcer, reducing pain, and accelerating the natural healing of the delicate tissues inside your mouth.
• Oral Mucosal Irritation: Lexanox Plus Oral Paste relieves localized discomfort and inflammation caused by minor injuries, braces, or dental appliances rubbing against the inside of your cheek or gums.

Lexanox Plus Oral Paste helps relieve the pain and discomfort of mouth ulcers while promoting healing of the affected area. Its combination of an anti-inflammatory medicine and a local anesthetic provides fast relief and improves comfort during recovery.

Benefits may include:

• Helps provide rapid relief from pain and discomfort caused by mouth ulcers.
• Numbs the affected area, making eating, drinking, and speaking easier and more comfortable.
• Helps reduce inflammation and supports faster healing of mouth ulcers.
• Forms a protective barrier over the ulcer, helping reduce irritation from hot, spicy, or acidic foods.
• Supports the natural healing process of minor mouth ulcers and improves oral comfort.
• Helps improve overall quality of life while the ulcer heals when used as prescribed. 

•  Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Check the label for directions and apply the medicine to the affected area with a clean finger or cotton swab.
• Lexanox Plus Oral Paste is for oral cavity use only.
• Avoid eating, drinking, or putting in dental appliances like braces or dentures for at least 30 minutes after using Lexanox Plus Oral Paste.

• Avoid irritating foods: Steer clear of spicy, highly acidic (like citrus fruits), salty, or very crunchy foods, which can scrape or irritate the healing ulcer.
• Use a soft toothbrush: Switch to a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent accidental trauma to your gums and cheeks while brushing.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist, which aids the natural healing process.
• Manage stress: Stress is a common trigger for mouth ulcers. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to help prevent future outbreaks.
• Avoid hot beverages: Let hot tea, coffee, or soups cool down to room temperature before consuming them to avoid burning the sensitive, numbed areas of your mouth.
• Identify possible triggers: If you develop mouth ulcers frequently, speak with your doctor. Recurrent ulcers can sometimes be linked to vitamin B12, folate, or iron deficiency, hormonal changes, certain foods, or underlying medical conditions that may require further evaluation.

• Apply only to the affected area: Apply Lexanox Plus Oral Paste only to the mouth ulcer as directed. Do not spread it over large areas inside the mouth or use more than the prescribed amount, as this may increase the absorption of lidocaine.
• Avoid brushing immediately after application: Do not brush your teeth immediately after applying Lexanox Plus Oral Paste, as this may remove the paste from the ulcer and reduce its effectiveness.
• Avoid biting your mouth: Be careful not to bite your cheek, tongue, or lips while your mouth remains numb after applying Lexanox Plus Oral Paste, as reduced sensation may increase the risk of accidental injury.
• Inspect Lexanox Plus Oral Paste before use: Check the tube before each use. Do not use Lexanox Plus Oral Paste if the packaging is damaged or if the paste has changed color, texture, or consistency.
• Use only for the prescribed duration: Limit the use of Lexanox Plus Oral Paste to the recommended treatment period, usually no more than 10 days, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
