Aphthasol (amlexanox oral paste), the first Rx drug approved for aphthous ulcers or canker sores
January 1998
Patients will be trying Aphthasol (amlexanox oral paste), the first Rx drug approved for aphthous ulcers or canker sores.
These ulcers are thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction...not by herpes, like fever blisters or cold sores.
Aphthasol reduces inflammation and allergic reactions...probably by inhibiting histamines, leukotrienes, etc.
