Pain killers, antibiotics, antidepressants, decongestants, antihistamines, corticosteroids and diuretics are clinically shown to have adverse oral side effects.

The most common oral side effects include oral thrush, dry mouth (Xerostomia), burning mouth, tooth decay, gum disease and various secondary infections. Patients dealing with serious medical conditions who are taking one or more prescriptive medications on a daily basis are considered to be at High Risk to develop progressive oral disease. It is essential that an effective oral relief protocol is made part of the overall wellness program.

Prescription Medications Linked to Oral Disease

• Antibiotics
• Antidepressants
• Antihistamines
• Asthma Inhalers
• Corticosteroids
• Decongestants
• Narcotic Pain Relievers
• Statins

Adverse Oral Reactions/Side Effects Linked to Common Prescription Medications

• Oral thrush
• Dry mouth
• Burning mouth
• Tooth decay

Oral Thrush

Oral thrush is an overgrowth of yeast fungi which occurs naturally in the mouth. Regulation of the oral thrush fungus is impaired and/or diminished from the daily use of one or more prescription medications. Oral thrush lesions are white, lightly raised patched or sores on the tongue or mucosa which are often painful.

Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)

Hundreds of common medications can cause dry mouth. The condition can be uncomfortable and can lead to serious health problems. Without enough saliva, the body's natural immune system is compromised and its ability to fight off common infections is decreased.

Burning Mouth

Burning mouth is a chronic, painful condition characterized by burning sensations in the tongue, lips, gums, inside of the cheeks and the back of the mouth or throat. The discomfort can be easily attributable to a number of prescriptive medications or physical abnormalities in the mouth.

Burning Mouth Syndrome, on the other hand, is a rare, diagnosed condition that causes an intense scalding sensation in the mouth. The syndrome usually affects women, especially after menopause.

Caries (Tooth Decay)

Tooth decay can be attributable to the lack of saliva caused by many prescriptive medications. Saliva helps protect the teeth from decay with its antimicrobial components that help rebuild tooth enamel. Without enough of it, the teeth begin to deteriorate and break down.

Prescriptive medication users are at high risk to develop a compromised immune system. Use of MEDActive® products will aid in countering these side effects, increase overall health and augment long-term and total wellness.

The MEDActive® Oral Relief Protocol is an effective regimen for relieving the discomfort associated with the Oral Side Effects of Common Prescription Medications.

To relieve the oral discomfort associated with the Side Effects of Common Prescription Medications calls for: :

• Cleaning
• Lubricating
• Moisturizing
• Protecting

MEDActive® Oral Relief Products are specially formulated to perform the four functions listed above while simultaneously enhancing saliva flow throughout the mouth and throat. Maintaining a clean, moist and well lubricated mouth serves to support good general health and enhanced quality of life.

Recommended Daily Oral Regimen for Prescription Medication Side Effects:

Cleaning

STEP 1. Floss

Floss at least once a day to remove debris and plaque from between teeth. Rinse mouth with water after flossing.

STEP 2. Brush

Brush teeth and gums with a soft bristle toothbrush at least twice daily. Thoroughly clean your toothbrush with hot water after each use. Replace toothbrush at least every three months or until bristles are frayed.

STEP 3. Rinse

Using MEDActive® Oral Relief Rinse, apply about half of the rinse for at least 60 seconds. Swish rinse over all mouth surfaces to make contact with teeth, gums, tongue, and palette. Gently gargle for 10-15 seconds with remaining half. Expectorate (Spit). For optimal effectiveness, tilt head back while gargling to reach back of the throat. Note: Do not eat or drink for at least 15 minutes after rinsing. Use the rinse once daily, just prior to retiring at night.

Lubricating

STEP 4. Spray

Use MEDActive® Oral Relief Spray as needed throughout the day. Apply 3-4 sprays on tongue; swish vigorously to cover all mouth surfaces. Note: Avoid food and drinks for at least 10 minutes after use.

Moisturizing

STEP 5. Lozenges

Recommended Use: Up to 8 MEDActive® Oral Relief Lozenges per day. For optimal effectiveness in enhancing saliva, eventually move lozenge under the tongue. Note: Avoid drinks for at least 15 minutes after use.

Protecting

• Once symptoms have subsided, continue flossing and rinsing daily, preferably just before retiring at night.
• Brush at least twice a day.
• Supplement daily rinsing and flossing with spray and lozenges as required throughout the day. Preferably use the spray after meals, snacks, and coffee breaks.
• Schedule regular visits with your dental professional for cleanings and exams. If you notice any signs or symptoms that may suggest oral health problems, contact your doctor and/or dental professional.

Other Considerations

• Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes, as these will make your mouth drier.
• Avoid candy, gum, and soda unless they are sugar-free.
• Avoid spicy or acidic foods, toothpicks, tobacco products, and alcohol.
• Keep the appointment schedule recommended by your doctor and/or dental professional.
• Notify your doctor and/or dental professional about any changes in your oral health.

Remember, Dry mouth and Oral thrush are serious oral conditions that cause inevitable downstream damage to the teeth and the soft tissue in the mouth. It can also negatively impact the body's ability to deal with other serious health issues and significantly impact quality of life. Persons classified as "At-Risk" or "High-Risk" because of age, occupation, environmental or health factors should pay very special attention to the mouth's care and condition. MEDActive® Oral Relief Products and Protocols provide safe and highly effective tools to clean, lubricate, moisten and protect.
