What is the differences between apthasol and other canker sore drugs.

It's amazing: Many of my chronic aphthous ulcer patients swear by its effectiveness. The pharmacology is not well known but as you know those little buggers can be seriously painful. Other medicines typically help via other mechanisms such as steroids, coating, anti-inflammatory, numbing. The only bad part about Aphthasol (amlexanox) is that it's hard to find. A more natural daily choice is l-lysine, vit k and b12.

Apthasol non-generic: Apthasol does not come in a generic and is an oral paste. Other mild steroid cancer sore medications come in generics and are in elixir (solution) forms.

Canker sores: The meds are either for palliative tx or they are for lessening the duration and intensity of the incident. Nothing cures or rids of the virus. Aphthasol (amlexanox) is one of the latter. The difference between it and other limiting products, I am not sure. Ask your dentist what meds he prefers to prescribe.
