Allergic Reactions to Prevora
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Hello Everybody,
I was recently asked by one of our Partners in Prevention about the possibility of an allergic reaction to Prevora in a patient who has recently had surgery and is also allergic to “many” things.
The response that they received was as follows: there have been no know allergic reactions to Prevora and its ingredients during the clinical trials which have taken place over many years and involved thousands of patients. There have been only 2 or 3 cases of asthmatics having difficulties during the treatment and approximately 2% of patients having a mild topical irritation of the oral mucosa. Prevora’s safety profile has been rigorously reviewed by both Health Canada (DIN # 02046245) and the Irish Medical Board prior to receiving approval as a prescription drug.
Patients with known sensitivities to chlorhexidine, Sumatra benzoin, ethyl alcohol or polymethylmethacrylate should be consulted prior to treatment. Chlorhexidine the active ingredient in Prevora, is a very well know antimicrobial which has been used in dentistry throughout the World for over 50 years.
If you have any other questions about Prevora’s safety profile or contraindications feel free to leave a comment and I will be happy to reply
Regards,
TYLER
