Common Use

1. Use a small amount.
2. Apply gently to the affected area.
3. Apply 3–4 times daily.
4. Avoid eating or drinking right after.

Possible Side Effects

• Rare swelling or rash as an allergic reaction.
• Discontinue use and seek medical help if discomfort is severe or persistent.

Drug Interaction

Orahelp is unlikely to interact significantly with systemic medications due to its topical use. However, caution is advised if you are taking other salicylate‑containing products or anticoagulants, as topical salicylates can theoretically contribute to systemic effects in large amounts. Inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you use.

• Low risk of systemic drug interactions.
• Caution with other salicylate or anticoagulant medications.
• Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements.

Missed Dose

If an application is missed, apply Orahelp gel as soon as you remember. Do not double the amount to compensate for a missed application. Resume your normal application schedule thereafter.

Overdose

Overdose from Orahelp gel is unlikely but excessive application may lead to salicylate toxicity (e.g., dizziness or ringing in the ears). Seek immediate medical attention if signs of overdose occur. Avoid ingesting the gel.

Storage

Store Orahelp gel below 30 °C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the gel beyond its expiration date.
