New Cankermelts–GX introduced in Bartell Drugstores
BELLEVUE, WA – Orahealth Corporation has introduced Cankermelts-GX®, the only over-the-counter medication that heals canker sores in 1- 4 days. Canker sores afflict 50 million Americans (20 percent of the population) numerous times each year. The product, which debuted online at Amazon.com, is now also available at Bartell Drugstores throughout the Puget Sound region.
“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 is easy-to-use and the only product available that heals canker sores quickly. 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. Using any other product or nothing at all, sores usually heal in seven to 14 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-release 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 always take pleasure in doing business with local companies such as Orahealth, and it’s gratifying to be the first retailer to carry a product that may soon be recognized throughout the nation as the leader for the treatment of canker sores,” said John Weith, Vice President of Merchandise for Bartell Drugs.
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.
The family-owned Bartell Drug Company, the nation’s oldest drugstore chain, recently celebrated 114 years of doing business in the Puget Sound area. Bartells owns and operates 53 stores in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.
