Astrigum Gum Paint 15 ml

Astrigum Gum Paint belongs to a class of drugs called 'antiseptic' primarily used to treat gum problems like swollen, bleeding, spongy, or loose gums. Besides this, Astrigum Gum Paint is used to treat mouth ulcers, pyorrhoea (a severe gum infection that destroys jawbone and loosens teeth), gingivitis (gum inflammation), or vincent’s disease (dirty grey ulceration of the mucus membranes). 

Astrigum Gum Paint is a combination of three drugs, namely: Tannic acid (astringent), Zinc chloride (hemostatic agent and astringent), and Cetrimide (antiseptic). Tannic acid is an astringent and protein that helps to contract skin cells, thereby healing and relieving irritation due to mouth ulcers. Zinc chloride is a hemostatic agent with astringent properties that prevents bleeding and toughens the skin. Cetrimide is an antibacterial that works by preventing microbe growth (bacteria) that could infect broken skin in the mouth. 

Use Astrigum Gum Paint as advised by your dentist. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Astrigum Gum Paint based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation at the site of the application. Most of these side effects of Astrigum Gum Paint do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Astrigum Gum Paint or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you have asthma, blood clotting disorders, or digestive system problems (ulcers), inform your doctor before taking Astrigum Gum Paint. Astrigum Gum Paint is for external (dental) use only. Avoid contact of Astrigum Gum Paint with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Astrigum Gum Paint comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before taking Astrigum Gum Paint. Avoid using Astrigum Gum Paint in large amounts or use for a long time than recommended as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects.
