Cankermelts–GX Now Sold in NW Indiana and NE Illinois
DEMOTTE, IN – Fagen Pharmacy and Orahealth USA announce the introduction of a new treatment that heals canker sores called Cankermelts-GX. The only over-the-counter medication that heals canker sores in one to four days, Cankermelts is now available at Fagen Pharmacies in NW Indiana and adjoining parts of Illinois. Recurrent canker sores afflict 50 million Americans (20 percent of the population).
The product debuted online at Amazon.com, becoming a top-selling item, and in Washington state drugstores, where it has consistently outsold all previously available canker sore treatments since its introduction in September of this year.
“As a lifelong canker sore sufferer, I was frustrated that there was nothing on the market that healed the sore,” said Jeff Haley, chief scientist and founder of Orahealth. “Other products just numb the sore or cover it. After two years of research and testing more than 250 different formulas, I developed Cankermelts-GX, which are easy-to-use and the only non-prescription product available that heals canker sores. If you apply Cankermelts immediately at the first sensation of a canker sore, it will be gone before it begins to hurt.”
The active ingredient in Cankermelts is Glycyrrhiza herbal extract (GX). GX has been found in clinical observations and double blind comparisons to shorten healing time to less than four days and typically one day on a new sore. Using any other product or nothing at all, sores usually heal in seven to fourteen days. The product also effectively heals other ordinary mouth ulcers, including denture sores and cuts from braces or biting your lip or cheek.
Cankermelts’ patented delivery system, invented by Haley, is a medicated disc, slightly smaller than a dime, that adheres (within one to two minutes) inside the mouth on or near the sore. As the time-released medicine is delivered, the disc naturally dissolves over two to six hours. Cankermelts can be used comfortably during any activity, including sleeping and exercising and do not interfere with normal functions, such as swallowing, chewing or talking.
“We’re excited to be among the first retail chains in the country to carry a revolutionary product like Cankermelts. Based on its effectiveness, we expect it will soon become the national leader among canker sore treatments,” said Gerald A. Fagen, Fagen Pharmacy CEO.
Formed in 2002, Orahealth Corporation is committed to providing the most effective medical treatments for healing and preventing canker sores and other ordinary mouth ulcers, including denture sores and cuts from braces or biting your lip or cheek. The privately-owned company is based in Bellevue, Washington.
Family-owned Fagen Pharmacy operates 23 stores and has been serving northwest Indiana and adjoining parts of Illinois for more than 30 years.
