How to read this table

  • Each cell puts into plain words what that product's own pack or official page says. The two columns use sources from different countries. For UlcerMagic, the source is its own pack; for OralMedic, it is the brand's page for Canada.
  • The two products have different directions. Follow the ones on the pack you are using, never those of the other product.

This table does not give the strength of either liquid or what each costs, and it makes no judgment of either product.
