Discus
Dental Exclusively Licensed to Distribute Aphthasol®, Amlexanox Oral
Paste 5%
CULVER CITY, Calif., June 10, 2005: Distributed exclusively
to licensed dental professionals by Discus Dental, Inc, Culver City,
California. Aphthasol is the first FDA-approved and only prescription
drug specifically indicated for the treatment of aphthous ulcers in
healthy adults. Studies show that up to 25 percent of dental patients
suffer from Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers (RAU), but, until now, treatment
options have only been marginally effective or simply masked the symptoms.
Finally, Aphthasol® is clinically proven to accelerate healing and
reduce pain.
Aphthasol, Amlexanox Oral Paste (5%), is a tasteless and odorless mucoadhesive
paste that is known to be a potent inhibitor of mast cells and allergic
response. Mast cells are found in greater quantities in Recurrent Aphthous
Ulcer lesions when compared with healthy mucosa. Aphthasol is believed
to work by both providing a protective barrier over the ulcer(s) and
inhibiting mast cells. FDA clinical trials have shown that Aphthasol
accelerates healing of ulcers and reduces associated pain with minimal
side affects. Aphthasol is proven to provide 72% faster healing time
and 90% faster pain resolution when compared to no treatment. The study
further shows 21% of patients treated with Aphthasol experienced complete
ulcer healing by day 3, while 44% of patients experienced pain relief
by day 3. Aphthasol is available to licensed dental professionals in
the United States exclusively through Discus Dental, Inc.
