About Zytee 9% Oral Gel

Zytee 9% Oral Gel is used in the treatment of mouth ulcers. Patients who are allergic to Zytee 9% Oral Gel or any of the ingredients of the gel or oral solution should not consume this drug before consulting the doctor.

Zytee 9% Oral Gel is also employed for temporary relief of pain of rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, osteoarthritis, and other conditions for which oral salicylates are recommended

It is also useful in patients in which there is difficulty in administering doses in a tablet or capsule dosage form, because of the liquid dosage form.

You must not apply this drug on open wounds. Don’t use the oral gel with children or adolescents because some studies show a link between salicylate use and Reye’s syndrome (affects the brain, liver and may be fatal).

Immediately consult your doctor if there is no improvement found in pain after using this drug for 7 to 14 days. Immediately take medical help if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.

Symptoms of overdose include tinnitus, vomiting, acute renal failure, hyperthermia, irritability, seizures, coma, metabolic acidosis. For acute ingestions, determine serum salicylate levels 6 hours after ingestion; the "Done" nomogram may be helpful for estimating the severity of aspirin poisoning and directing treatment using serum salicylate levels.

Treatment should also be based upon symptomatology. Toxic symptoms and corresponding treatments are as follows:

  • Overdose: Induce emesis with ipecac, and/or lavage with saline, followed with activated charcoal.
  • Dehydration: I.V. fluids with KCl (no D5W only).
