1. What Pyralvex is and what it is used for
Pyralvex has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects on inflammatory conditions of the buccopharyngeal mucosa.
Due to its analgesic properties, pain and sensitivity of the altered tissue due to inflammation are quickly suppressed. The mucous membranes can soon resume their physiological functions. Pyralvex is not aggressive to the mucous membranes, and its mode of use is simple and painless.
Pyralvex is indicated for:
Relief of pain in mild inflammatory conditions of the mouth mucosa, such as aphthae and irritations caused by dentures and orthopedic maxillary appliances.
