Orostar Plus Fluoride Enriched 120 ml

Overview

Orostar Plus Mouthwash is a fluoride-enriched antiseptic mouthwash manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC, combining Eucalyptol, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate, Thymol, and Sodium Fluoride for comprehensive oral care.

Indications

Indicated for gingivitis, oral hygiene maintenance, cavity prevention, bad breath, plaque control, and gum disease, while helping keep teeth cleaner and brighter.

Pharmacology

Eucalyptol is a natural monoterpenoid with anti-inflammatory properties. Menthol provides a cooling sensation and local anesthetic action. Methyl Salicylate penetrates tissue and inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, relieving pain. Thymol helps prevent tooth decay as a dental varnish component. Sodium Fluoride strengthens teeth through the formation of fluorapatite, a natural component of tooth enamel.

Dosage and Administration

Use twice daily after brushing with toothpaste. Vigorously swish 10 ml of rinse between the teeth for 1 minute, then spit out. Do not swallow the rinse. Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after rinsing. Children should be supervised until capable of using without supervision; use in children should follow a dentist's or physician's advice.

Interaction

There are no known or well-documented drug interactions.

Side Effects

Eating or drinking within 30 minutes after rinsing may diminish the mouthwash's effects; no other significant side effects are documented with proper use.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Pregnancy category not classified; FDA has not assigned a specific pregnancy category to this product.

Precautions and Warnings

Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after rinsing. Children under 12 years should be instructed in good rinsing habits to minimize swallowing and supervised as necessary. If an amount greater than used for rinsing is accidentally swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of the reach of children. Cold weather may cloud the solution, but this does not affect its antiseptic and anti-cavity properties.
