What Is Canker Cover Used For?
For temporary relief of pain associated with Canker Sores
Dosage and Administration
adults and children 5 years of age and older, apply up to 3 tablets a day, as needed. Place the tablet on a clean, dry finger with the white side up. Place the white side on the sore and hold in place for 10 seconds. If sore is difficult to reach (in the fold between the cheek and gum or near the teeth or lip) break the tablet along the score and use half. Some discomfort may occur during the first few minutes, but will quickly subside, followed by hours of soothing relief. Within 30 minutes, the tablet forms a clear, gel-like bandage that seals and protects the sore for hours before dissolving. Do not remove the tablet before it dissolves. In case of discomfort, the tablet may be removed by gently peeling the tablet from the sides while washing with warm water. Do not use any instrument to remove the tablet.
