Senolin, manufactured by Indoco Remedies Ltd., is primarily a medicated dental cream or toothpaste designed to address sensitive teeth and support overall oral hygiene. Its main active ingredient is Strontium Chloride, with some variations also containing Stannous Fluoride.

What is Senolin used for?

Senolin is primarily used to relieve dental hypersensitivity or sensitive teeth, reduce dental plaque, and manage cavities. It also helps in strengthening teeth, promoting remineralization, reducing dental caries on tooth surfaces, and inhibiting the growth of cariogenic microbes.

How does Senolin work?

Senolin's effectiveness comes from its active ingredients. Strontium chloride works by blocking pain signals to the nerves within the tooth by sealing the tiny tubules that lead to the nerve. It also helps replace lost calcium ions, forming a strontium calcium apatite complex that is resistant to acid, thereby protecting against tooth wear. If it contains Stannous Fluoride, it strengthens enamel, forms a protective barrier over exposed dentin to reduce sensitivity, and offers antimicrobial benefits.

What is the usual dosage of Senolin?

Senolin should be used as directed by a physician or dentist. Typically, a small amount is applied to a soft-bristled toothbrush, and teeth are brushed for about 2 to 4 minutes, usually twice daily. It can also be applied gently to the affected sensitive areas.

What are the possible side effects of Senolin?

Generally, no side effects of Senolin as a dental cream/toothpaste have been widely reported in medical literature. However, if you experience any unusual or severe reactions, you should consult your doctor.

Is Senolin safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Caution should be exercised when using Senolin during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is highly advisable to consult a doctor before using this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can Senolin be used with other medications?

As a general precaution, it's always recommended to discuss all medications and dental products you are using with your doctor or pharmacist to avoid potential interactions, although systemic interactions with topical dental products are generally less common.

What precautions should be taken when using Senolin?

It is important to clean the affected area with normal or lukewarm water before applying Senolin. Avoid using excessive amounts of the product and follow the prescribed quantity. Also, avoid using hot water on the affected area. In case of an allergic reaction, consult your doctor.

What happens if a dose of Senolin is missed?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose or extra doses to make up for a missed one. Some sources suggest that skipping a dose may increase the risk of infection.

How should Senolin be stored?

Senolin should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of the reach of children. It should not be refrigerated. Always check the expiry date on the packaging and do not use the product past this date.
