Side Effects of Canazole Mouth Paint 15ml

Canazole Mouth Paint may have the following common side effects:

Mild burning, stinging or irritation in the mouth after application
Changes in taste sensation: This might mean a temporary alteration in your perception of sour, sweet, bitter, and salty flavours.
Dry mouth: This can make your mouth feel uncomfortable and can also cause difficulties in talking, eating, or swallowing.
Allergic reactions such as itching or rash: These could be signs of an allergic reaction to the medication. Swelling of the mouth or throat and difficulty breathing are very rare but serious symptoms.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Canazole Mouth Paint. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dry mouth: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist.
Nausea or vomiting: Try using Canazole Mouth Paint after meals to lessen this effect.

Canazole Mouth Paint contains clotrimazole (1%) which works on the body in the following ways:

Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Clotrimazole works by blocking an enzyme crucial for the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes.
Disrupts Fungal Cell Structure: By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, clotrimazole disrupts the structure and permeability of the fungal cell membrane leading to leakage of intracellular components.
Inhibits Fungal Growth and Replication: This disrupted cell function ultimately inhibits the growth and replication of fungal cells.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised if you are pregnant and planning to use Canazole Mouth Paint. It's best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
