Lexanox Plus Paste 5gm

Lexanox Plus Paste 5gm is a prescription-strength topical oral paste used primarily for the treatment of aphthous ulcers (commonly known as canker sores) in the mouth. It is classified as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent, designed to promote faster healing and reduce pain and discomfort associated with mouth ulcers.

Canker sores are small, painful lesions that appear inside the mouth, on the tongue, inner lips, or cheeks. While they usually resolve on their own within 7–10 days, they can be extremely painful, interfere with eating, and significantly reduce quality of life. Lexanox Plus Paste 5gm paste works by inhibiting the release of histamine and inflammatory mediators that cause pain, swelling, and tissue damage in ulcers.

Amlexanox is effective in:

• Reducing ulcer size and pain

• Speeding up healing time

• Preventing recurrence of frequent mouth ulcers

• Improving oral comfort and hygiene

Its anti-inflammatory action is complemented by antiallergic properties, making it suitable for individuals with a history of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). The 50 MG strength is the most commonly used dosage and is considered safe and effective when applied as directed.

Amlexanox oral paste is generally well-tolerated and non-systemic, meaning it works locally in the mouth and has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
