Storage
Refer to storage information printed on the package. If you have any questions about storage, ask your pharmacist. Keep all medications and herbal products away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company for more details about how to safely discard your product.
Nolargin warnings
Due to the cationic properties of chlorhexidine, Nolargin is incompatible with anionic surfactants and other anionic compounds. One layer of Tulle Gras dressing only should be applied directly to the surface of lesions being treated, and this should be done with forceps under sterile conditions. Nolargin should not be used if the seal or wrapper is broken.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Nolargin?
Tell your health care provider if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Nolargin. However, no specific interactions with Nolargin are known at this time.
Ask your health care provider if Nolargin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Nolargin precautions
Nolargin may cause some discolouration of the tongue and teeth but is not permanent and disappears after treatment is stopped. Tooth staining can be prevented by: Brushing daily with a conventional toothpaste and rinsing the mouth thoroughly with water before using Nolargin; avoiding tannin-containing food and drinks (eg, tea, coffee and red wine) for at least 1 hr after using Nolargin.
However, in some cases, a simple scale and polish by the dentist or hygienist may be necessary to remove the discolouration completely. Dentures may be cleaned with conventional denture cleaner.
A change of taste or a burning sensation on the tongue during first use may be noticed. These effects usually go away as the patient continues to use the product.
Occasionally, skin irritation may occur. Very rarely, allergic reactions may occur.
If the patient is concerned by these or any other unwanted effects, stop using the medicine and consult the doctor or dentist.
Nolargin is incompatible with anionic agents that are usually present in conventional toothpastes. These should, therefore, be used before Nolargin or at a different time of day.
Use in pregnancy & lactation: No special precautions are needed if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding but, as with all medicines, the patient should consult the doctor before using Nolargin.
