＜How to use of AFTACH_A ＞
1、Aphthous stomatitis, which this medication targets, is a collective term for one to several small, painful, whitish circular ulcers (less than 10 mm in diameter) with shallow concave centers surrounded by redness, found on the tongue and the inside of cheeks and lips as shown on the diagram on the left.
2、Gently wipe off saliva (medication may not adhere properly if the area where it is applied is wet due to saliva) using tissue paper or gauze on the area where stomatitis has occurred.
3、Apply a small quantity of saliva to your fingertip, gently press your fingertip to the orange side of the medication, and apply the medication.
4、While looking in the mirror, adhere the white side (containing active ingredients) carefully so as to cover the part affected with stomatitis. If the white side gets wet with saliva, adhesion to the affected area will deteriorate, and if it does not adhere properly, reapply a new medication.
5、The following, are especially difficult to apply areas, where a cotton swab or similar may be used instead of fingertip to apply. If medication will not adhere to uneven surfaces such as the back of the tongue, the gums or similar, please consult a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, or registered seller.
6、Once you have adhered the medication to the stomatitis, press for a few seconds, confirm that it has adhered properly and only then remove your finger. For medication to attach properly, be careful not to touch the medication with your tongue for a while. After a while, the medication will turn into jelly and gradually dissolve.
