알보칠 in Korea: Price, Use and Precautions

Hello,

I'm Dad Pharmacist.

You open your mouth to eat a meal,

and the moment something touches your tongue — ouch!

​

A mouth sore (oral ulcer / stomatitis) — once it appears,

eating, brushing your teeth, even talking

— everything becomes uncomfortable.

​

​

Today, I'll be covering 알보칠,

a product that can help you respond to those mouth sores quickly and effectively.

Let me give you a proper rundown.

​

Why 알보칠 is effective for stomatitis:

The key mechanism

​

​

The active ingredient in 알보칠 is

policresulen, which acts on damaged areas through local protein coagulation and tissue astringent action.

It is an ingredient that acts directly on the site of damage.

​

So what is the key mechanism of action?

Selective action on necrotic tissue only

​

​

​

The policresulen in 알보칠

leaves normal cells untouched,

and selectively reacts with bacterially infected, necrotic tissue and columnar epithelium.

​

This is

the core mechanism of action of 알보칠.

​

Reacts with cells damaged by infection →

Rapidly removes necrotic tissue →

In this process, localized chemical cauterization occurs, clearing the lesion site →

Creates space for new, healthy tissue to form →

Stomatitis heals quickly

The negative charge of policresulen repels the negative charge of normal cells,

allowing it to concentrate its treatment on the damaged area.

​

How 알보칠 Works

​

🔹 Antibacterial action: Inhibits and eliminates bacteria and fungi at the site of mouth ulcers.

🔹 Necrotic tissue removal: Selectively destroys and removes damaged cells.

🔹 Hemostatic action: Reduces secretions and creates an environment conducive to recovery.

​

For reference, this polycresulen ingredient

is used not only on oral mucosa

but also for treating bacterial infections inside the vagina.

​

In other words, it is not simply a 'mouth sore remedy' —

it is an ingredient specifically designed to clear infections and necrotic tissue that occur on mucous membranes.

​

By clearing the mucosal environment in this way

and thanks to its ability to inhibit bacteria and fungi,

faster recovery from mouth ulcers can be expected.

​

The white discoloration that appears after application is a reaction caused by protein coagulation — no need to worry!

Why does 알보칠 hurt?

​

​

​

알보칠 has a nickname: "pay all the pain upfront at once" 😅

​

The pH of the active ingredient polycresulen is

approximately 0.6, making it a strongly acidic substance.

​

The moment it contacts the affected area, intense pain occurs —

this is the stimulus that comes as the medicine takes effect.

​

As the saying goes, "1 week's worth of pain compressed into 10 minutes" —

the moment of application is painful,

but necrotic tissue falls away quickly

and it helps shorten the recovery period.

​

Because this strong acidic action

reacts selectively with necrotic tissue,

the effect appears alongside the pain.

Precautions when using 알보칠

​

​

✔ Apply only to the affected area.

— Applying over a wide area may cause burns to the surrounding mucous membrane.

​

✔ Take care not to let it contact your teeth.

— The strongly acidic ingredient can damage tooth enamel

​

✔ Keep away from metal and stainless steel

— There is a risk of corrosion

​

✔ Dilution is essential when used by children

— Children have more sensitive mucous membranes, so dilute with distilled water before use

​

✔ Pregnant women must consult a pharmacist before use

​

알보칠 — Here's when it's a good option!

​

When mouth sores make daily activities like eating and brushing your teeth uncomfortable

​

A sharp sting every time you eat,

pain every time your toothbrush barely grazes the sore while brushing,

and the feeling of your tongue rubbing against it even when you talk…

​

For those who want to recover quickly and get back to their daily routine,

알보칠 is a good option worth considering

​

When a mouth sore appears just before a trip, or you're worried about getting one during travel

​

When a mouth sore suddenly appears the day before your trip

You can't let it ruin your trip by not being able to eat properly.

​

알보칠 is an over-the-counter medicine available for immediate purchase at pharmacies in South Korea,

making it a great product to keep on hand as a travel essential.

​

​

Honestly, mouth sores have a truly annoying sense of timing.

​

The day before an important presentation,

the day you're finally going out for a long-awaited delicious meal,

the day before you set off on a trip…

​

​

They always seem to show up on days like these 😩

​

​

Thinking "I'll just tough it out and it'll get better" —

unable to eat, unable to brush your teeth,

those who have suffered for days like that

— there must be so many of you

​

​

The faster you respond to a mouth sore,

Recovery is also fast.

​

​

​

However, 알보칠 must be used correctly

in order to see its proper effect,

and using it incorrectly can actually cause irritation,

so if you are using it for the first time, please be sure to ask a pharmacist first!
