Herpesan 2% Gel 5g

Herpesan 2% Gel contains Carbenoxolone Sodium 2% w/w, a synthetic derivative of licorice-root compounds used to soothe mouth ulcers and lip sores. It is manufactured by Rowa Pharm Ltd and formulated for cutaneous and oromucosal use. Some users may notice side effects such as mild local irritation, though systemic effects such as sodium and water retention or low potassium levels can occur with excessive or prolonged use. Before use, it is helpful to know that Herpesan is meant for short-term, localized application, that swallowing small residual amounts is generally not a concern, but larger or repeated ingestion should be avoided. If you are pregnant, have kidney disease, or are taking medications that affect potassium levels, check with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

The typical recommended dosage is to apply the gel to the affected area up to four times daily, generally after meals and at bedtime. Treatment is intended for short-term use at the first sign of symptoms.

• Local irritation at the application site
• Sodium and water retention (with excessive use)
• Hypokalemia (low potassium levels, with excessive or prolonged use)
• Mild burning sensation
• Allergic reactions (rare)

Store Herpesan 2% Gel below 25°C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the tube tightly closed after use, and store out of reach of children.

• Apply thickly to the affected area after meals and at bedtime
• Avoid swallowing large amounts of the gel
• If you wear dentures, apply the gel after cleaning them and leave dentures out for 30–60 minutes afterward
• Use for short-term relief only, at the first sign of symptoms
• Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place
• Keep out of reach of children
• Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease or take diuretics
• Check the expiry date before use

Herpesan 2% Gel is for cutaneous and oromucosal use only. Apply the gel thickly to the affected lip sore or mouth ulcer after meals and at bedtime, allowing it to remain in contact with the area rather than rinsing it away immediately.

Herpesan 2% Gel typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and kept unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube before use.

The active ingredient is Carbenoxolone Sodium 2% w/w, a synthetic derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid (from licorice root) that helps protect the mucosal surface and supports the healing of lip sores and mouth ulcers.

• Known hypersensitivity to carbenoxolone or any ingredient in the gel
• Not recommended during pregnancy due to potential fetal risk
• Caution is advised in patients with severe kidney disease
• Caution in patients taking medications that affect potassium levels, such as diuretics or digitalis glycosides

Carbenoxolone may interact with diuretics such as amiloride and spironolactone, potentially worsening low potassium levels, and may increase the risk of toxicity with digitalis glycosides (heart medications) if potassium levels drop significantly. Given these systemic risks with excessive or prolonged use, it is important to inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, especially those affecting fluid or electrolyte balance.
