Description of Synthol Liquid Flask 225ml GlaxoSmithKline

This medicine is recommended for cutaneous application in adults and children over 7 years of age, as an adjunctive treatment for minor trauma (bruises, blows), insect bites and oral cavity disorders (gingivitis, periodontal disease, stomatitis, mouth ulcers).

  • The mouth is full of pathogens: hundreds of millions of bacteria make up the oral flora. This flora can become unbalanced following physicochemical aggression, leading to damage to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Mouth ulcers, herpes and oral candidiasis are, to varying degrees, diseases of the mouth with multiple causes.
  • Bruises and bumps are small, everyday lesions. There's no need to clutter up the emergency room: most of the time, they have no serious consequences, and disappear in a few weeks without a trace. When a bruise or hematoma does occur, a few simple gestures and the use of appropriate products can facilitate treatment and reduce the intensity of symptoms.

Directions for use and advice on Synthol liquid Flask 225ml

GLOSSARY (summary)


allergy
Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort occurring after contact with a particular substance, use of a medication, or ingestion of food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also result in digestive disorders.


antecedents
Affection healed or always in evolution. The antecedent may be personal or family. The background is the history of a person's health.


convulsions
Involuntary contractions limited to a few muscles or generalized to the whole body. They are due to excessive pain or stimulation of the brain: fever, poisoning, lack of oxygen, brain damage. Convulsions may be due to an epileptic seizure or high fever in young children.


bruising
Infiltration of blood into the skin and mucous membranes that may occur spontaneously or, most often, after trauma. Bruises are commonly called blues.


eczema
Skin disease manifested by pimples and itching. Eczema may be due to contact with an allergic substance (contact eczema) or be linked to a genetic predisposition (atopic eczema).


epilepsy
A chronic seizure disorder associated with abnormal electrical activity of a group of brain cells. Its manifestations, varying in intensity, range from the sudden drop in attention (absences, or small evil) to loss of consciousness accompanied by abnormal muscle movements (convulsions, or great evil). Partial epilepsy, as its name implies, does not concern the whole body: the jerky movements only touch one or more muscle groups.


dosage
Quantity and distribution of the dose of a drug according to the age, weight and general condition of the patient.


allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.


repellent
Substance or technique intended to cause an influx of blood into the skin near a diseased organ in order to relieve it (suction cups, mustard poultice). Currently, these methods are less used and the term revulsive essentially concerns medicines for local use which cause dilation of the blood vessels of the skin.


salicylate
A family of drugs, the best known of which is acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).


terpene
A general term for aromatic substances of vegetable origin. These are traditionally used for their respiratory properties (stimulating, expectorant, antiseptic) and their revulsive power when applied to the skin. The most used are camphor, menthol, eucalyptol, essential oils of mint, turpentine, niaouli, pine, anise, etc.
Some terpenes, and especially camphor, have been responsible for convulsions, respiratory pauses in the infant, in case of overdose. They can also cause behavioral problems in the elderly. These products should be used with caution at the extreme ages of life.


treatment
Treatment that complements the action of a specific treatment, but generally does not achieve healing on its own.
