Can Aphthasol Treat Canker Sores?
I work at a dental office in Gresham Oregon and our Doctor prescribed Aphthasol for a young man who suffers from canker sores. The pharmacy called and said he couldn t fill that rx and that in the 8 years that he had been a pharmacist he had not heard of the drug. Can it be gotten at all? Thanks, Pam

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Canker sore or aphthous ulcer are seen on the inner side of the cheek,tongue and oral cavity.
It is mainly due to stress ,injury by the teeth,Acid peptic disease or infections of bacterial origin.
This can be cured by avoiding the factors, good oral hygiene,Chlorhexidine mouthwash and gel having pain killer and local anesthetic agent.
This is the medicine which is prescribed your doctor.
Thank you.
