Alconil

• Oral Hygiene: Prevention and treatment of plaque formation, gingivitis, and bad breath (halitosis).
• Dental Caries Prevention: Due to fluoride content, aids in reducing dental caries risk.
• Mild Oral Mucosal Irritations: Soothing effect on minor oral inflammations.
• Adjunctive Use: In dental care routines post-scaling and root planing for periodontal therapy.
• Off-label/Clinically Accepted Uses: Temporary relief of minor oral discomfort and mouth ulcers.

• Formulation: Typically used as a mouthwash or oral rinse.
• Adults and Children (>12 years): Rinse with 10–20 mL for 30 seconds to 1 minute twice daily after brushing.
• Do not swallow; expectorate after use.
• Duration: Use regularly for dental plaque control; consult dental professional for long-term use.
• Pediatrics (<12 years): Use with caution; typically not recommended unless advised by a dentist.
• Special Groups: No dose adjustment needed; avoid swallowing in all groups.

This combination provides multi-mechanistic oral care:

• Eucalyptol, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate, and Thymol act as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents, disrupting bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting plaque-forming bacteria, and reducing oral inflammation.
• Sodium Fluoride promotes remineralization of enamel and inhibits demineralization, strengthening teeth against acid attack and preventing dental caries.

• Absorption: Minimal systemic absorption via oral mucosa when used as mouthwash; primarily topical effect.
• Distribution: Localized in oral cavity tissues.
• Metabolism: Menthol and methyl salicylate are metabolized hepatically if ingested; however, systemic exposure from mouthwash use is minimal.
• Elimination: Metabolites excreted via urine.
• Onset: Immediate topical antimicrobial and analgesic effects upon use.

• Pregnancy: Generally considered safe when used as directed in mouthwash form; systemic exposure minimal. Use with caution; consult healthcare provider.
• Lactation: Safe for breastfeeding mothers with topical use; avoid swallowing to minimize systemic exposure.

• Primary Class: Oral hygiene agents
• Subclass: Antimicrobial mouthwash with fluoride anticaries agent

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any component (e.g., menthol, methyl salicylate).
• Children under 12 years unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• History of salicylate sensitivity or aspirin allergy.
• Open wounds or severe oral mucosal damage (consult healthcare provider before use).

• Avoid swallowing; ingestion of large amounts can cause systemic toxicity.
• May cause temporary burning or irritation of oral mucosa.
• Use with caution in patients with salicylate sensitivity.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Discontinue use if allergic reactions or severe irritation occur.
• Not a substitute for mechanical plaque removal (brushing/flossing).

Common:

• Mild oral irritation or burning sensation.
• Altered taste sensation.
• Temporary tooth staining (rare).

Serious/Rare:

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing).
• Salicylate toxicity if ingested in large amounts (rare in mouthwash use).

• No significant drug-drug interactions expected with topical use.
• Avoid concurrent use with other salicylate-containing products to prevent additive toxicity.
• No known interactions with food or alcohol.

• Continued recommendation as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control.
• Emphasis on appropriate fluoride concentrations for dental caries prevention.
• No major recent safety warnings; recognized for good tolerability with proper use.

• Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
• Protect from light and excessive heat.
• Keep container tightly closed.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not freeze.
