Dosage of Oxwalt in details

Oxwalt Dosage

Generic name: Oxwalt 2.5mg

Dosage form: insert, extended release

The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

One Oxwalt is inserted into a periodontal pocket with probing pocket depth (PD) 5 mm or greater. Up to 8 chips may be inserted in a single visit. Treatment is recommended to be administered once every three months in pockets with PD remaining 5 mm or greater.

The periodontal pocket should be isolated and the surrounding area dried prior to chip insertion. The Oxwalt should be grasped using forceps (such that the rounded end points away from the forceps) and inserted into the periodontal pocket to its maximum depth. If necessary, the Oxwalt can be further maneuvered into position using the tips of the forceps or a flat instrument. The Oxwalt does not need to be removed since it biodegrades completely.

In the unlikely event of Oxwalt dislodgement (in the two pivotal clinical trials, only 8 chips were reported lost), several actions are recommended, depending on the day of Oxwalt loss. If dislodgement occurs 7 days or more after placement, the dentist should consider the subject to have received a full course of treatment. If dislodgement occurs within 48 hours after placement, a new Oxwalt should be inserted. If dislodgement occurs more than 48 hours after placement, the dentist should not replace the Oxwalt, but reevaluate the patient at 3 months and insert a new Oxwalt if the pocket depth has not been reduced to less than 5 mm.
