China Resources Zizhu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd Propolis Oral Mask 1cm*1.3cm*5 Tablets

Indications of Propolis Oral Membrane

1. Oral Ulcers (Canker Sores)

• Primary Indication:
  • Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), traumatic ulcers (e.g., from dental trauma, braces), or ulcers due to oral irritation.
• Symptomatic Relief:
  • Reduces pain, promotes epithelial repair, and shortens healing time for:
    • Single or multiple ulcers on the tongue, inner cheeks, gums, or palate.
    • Ulcers with yellowish-gray bases and red halos, accompanied by burning sensation or difficulty eating.
• Mechanism:
  • Propolis contains flavonoids and phenolic compounds that inhibit bacterial growth (e.g., Streptococcus), reduce inflammation, and stimulate fibroblast activity for tissue regeneration.

2. Acute Gingivitis and Stomatitis

• Inflammatory Conditions:
  • Gingivitis (red, swollen, bleeding gums) due to plaque accumulation, vitamin deficiency, or hormonal changes.
  • Stomatitis (generalized oral mucosal inflammation) from viral infections (e.g., herpes simplex), chemotherapy, or allergic reactions.
• Topical Action:
  • Forms a protective film over inflamed areas, reducing mechanical irritation and allowing the mucosa to heal.
  • Alleviates swelling, redness, and discomfort, especially in areas difficult to treat with oral medications.

3. Oral Mucosal Injuries and Irritations

• Applicable Scenarios:
  • Minor burns (e.g., from hot food/drinks), abrasions, or lacerations in the mouth.
  • Mucosal irritation from dentures, oral appliances, or spicy foods.
• Therapeutic Benefits:
  • Provides immediate pain relief and a barrier against saliva, food, and bacteria, preventing secondary infection.
  • Accelerates epithelialization (tissue repair) through propolis’ antioxidant and angiogenic effects.

4. Adjuvant Treatment for Oral Infections

• Combination Therapy:
  • As an adjunct to systemic antibiotics or antivirals for oral infections (e.g., fungal stomatitis, periodontal abscesses), focusing on local symptom management.
• Target Symptoms:
  • Pain, ulceration, or mucosal erosion in conditions like:
    • Oral candidiasis (thrush) with white patches and underlying redness.
    • Herpetic gingivostomatitis with clusters of small vesicles that rupture into ulcers.

Ingredient Efficacy and Mode of Action

Administration and Precautions

• Application Method:
  • Cut the membrane to fit the ulcer/lesion, apply the sticky side directly to the affected area; allow it to dissolve slowly (1–2 times daily, or as needed for pain).
• Contraindications:
  • Hypersensitivity to propolis, bee products, or formula ingredients (may cause allergic reactions like itching, swelling).
  • Severe oral infections requiring systemic treatment (use as adjuvant, not substitute for antibiotics/antivirals).
• Special Notes:
  • Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after application to maximize membrane adhesion.
  • For children under 6 years old, apply under adult supervision to prevent swallowing or choking.

Clinical Considerations

• Duration of Use:
  • Most ulcers heal within 5–7 days with regular use; discontinue if no improvement after 3 days or if symptoms worsen (e.g., increased swelling, fever).
• Differentiation of Conditions:
  • Effective for minor oral injuries and inflammatory ulcers, but not for systemic disease-related oral lesions (e.g., lupus, HIV-associated stomatitis) without underlying condition management.
• Safety Profile:
  • Generally safe for short-term use; rare side effects include mild burning sensation (transient) or allergic contact dermatitis (discontinue if observed).
