Treats recurrent aphthous ulcers (canker sores), minor oral mucosal lesions, and is used for chemical cauterization in ENT procedures such as控制鼻出血 and removal of certain oral lesions.

Aluminum potassium sulfate acts as an astringent that shrinks tissue and reduces secretions by precipitating proteins. Phenol provides antiseptic and caustic properties that help disinfect the area and remove affected tissue, allowing healthy tissue to regenerate.

For topical/oral mucosal use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Should not be ingested in significant amounts. Use with caution in patients with known sensitivity to aluminum or phenol. Application may cause temporary burning or stinging sensation. Not recommended for large areas of broken skin.
