KONTUM MOUTH WASH is a topical analgesic (oral rinse/gel) used to relieve painful mouth and throat conditions such as mouth ulcers, sore gums and sore throat. KONTUM MOUTH WASH is also used to treat pain and inflammation following dental surgery. KONTUM MOUTH WASH is indicated as well for relief from pain and inflammatory conditions associated with sore throat or mouth sores caused by radiation therapy.

KONTUM MOUTH WASH belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This drug helps stop pain by blocking the formation of certain chemicals called prostaglandins in the body.

KONTUM MOUTH WASH may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

The dosage of KONTUM MOUTH WASH prescribed to each patient will vary. Always follow your physician’s instructions and/or the directions on the prescription drug label.

Do not swallow KONTUM MOUTH WASH oral rinse or gel. The prescribed amount of KONTUM MOUTH WASH should be used as a mouth wash around the mouth or as a gargle in the throat, for at least 30 seconds, and then it should be spit out.

If your physician has instructed or directed you to use KONTUM MOUTH WASH medication in a regular schedule and you have missed a dose of this medicine, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the doses to catch up for the missed dose.

Any medication used in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose of KONTUM MOUTH WASH, seek medical attention immediately.
