Active constituents
Eugenol comprises 72-90% of the essential oil extracted from cloves, and is the compound most responsible for the cloves' aroma.

Other important essential oil constituents of clove oil include acetyl eugenol, vanillin; crategolic acid; tannins, gallotannic acid, methyl salicylate (painkiller); the flavonoids eugenin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, and eugenitin; triterpenoids like oleanolic acid, stigmasterol and campesterol; and several sesquiterpenes.

Toxicity
According to Castleman, clove oil contains a compound called eugenol, which is thought to promote the growth of cancerous tumors. Eugenol and other compounds in clove oil may also be toxic to the skin, causing irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Clove oil may also promote dermatitis, Lawless says.

Dosage form

precautions

Pregnancy and lactation No formal studies have been conducted in man. However, on the basis of animal studies and, in theory, the negligible systemic absorption it is considered highly unlikely that the use of ORALDENE during pregnancy will present a risk to the foetus. It is not known whether hexetidine is excreted in human breast milk, however, in view of the negligible amount of hexetidine which could be predicted to be systemically absorbed, it is unlikely that concentrations of hexetidine in the milk will present any risk to the neonate/infant.

Hypersensitivity to hexetidine or to any of the contraindications excipients in Oraldene.

How do I use it?

At least 15ml of undiluted Oraldene solution should be used to rinse the mouth or gargle each time. This can be repeated two to three times a day.
