Pain relief on the counter

Rincinol's pain relief for soft tissue just got easier with convenient counter-top display

Sunstar Butler announced that its Rincinol™ Oral Pain Reliever is now available in a convenient countertop dispenser. Stocked with individual dose sachets for easy in-office use and dispensing, the new Rincinol packaging also displays consumer retail coupons for the over-the-counter soft tissue pain reliever. Rincinol is the first nonprescription oral pain medication that forms a bioadherent protective coating over the mucosal surface to quickly provide long-lasting oral pain relief and promote healing.

Rincinol is indicated for a broad range of applications, including aphthous ulcers (canker sores); mouth burns; irritation from orthodontic appliances and removable prosthetics; post-oral surgery and other soft tissue management procedures such as scaling, root planing, and prophylaxis treatment; and oral tissue trauma from a variety of other causes. Rincinol P.R.N.™ easily treats the entire oral cavity through simple swishing around the mouth. It is ideal for in-office use as part of a complete postop pain-management protocol, and provides site-specific pain relief with no need for difficult or painful site-specific application.

Unlike alternative temporary-relief options, alcohol-free Rincinol adheres to the oral mucosa to create a thin protective coating without numbing, stinging, or burning. This long-lasting protective shield coats exposed, sensitive nerve endings to eliminate over-stimulation and aids against infection. As a result, pain is reduced and the healing environment remains protected. Rincinol ingredients include polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium hyaluronate (the muco-adherent and film-forming agents), glycyrrhetinic acid (shown to inhibit inflammation in anti-inflammatory models), and aloe vera (for its soothing, healing, and hydrating qualities).

Studies have demonstrated that Rincinol is safe and effective for controlling pain, allowing patients to eat and drink more comfortably. One study showed 97 percent of patients experienced rapid, sustained pain relief for several hours after initial treatment. The pleasant taste and protective barrier action of Rincinol, combined with its ease of use, results in immediate pain relief with no reported side effects or drug interaction concerns. It is safe for all ages 6 and above.

Rincinol is available over the counter at retail stores in 4 oz. bottles. Professional Dispensing Box Special: Buy 1 box, get 1 box FREE through March 31, 2006. www.sunstarbutler.
