How long do I have to take Periostat®?
The duration of Periostat® therapy is different for each person and depends on the severity of your gum disease and the time needed for your body s healing process to take place. During your checkups, your dentist or periodontist will determine if you should stop therapy or continue to take Periostat® based on your response to treatment and the level of improvement of your gum disease. Periostat® has been shown in studies to be effective for up to 9 months of continuous use; in addition, Periostat® has been safely used for up to 12 months.
