ARESTIN®; exhibits synergistic effect with scaling and root planing (SRP) for periodontal disease.

ARESTIN® contains microspheres—tiny particles—that are smaller than grains of sand and are not visible to the eye. The microspheres are filled with the antibiotic minocycline hydrochloride. These microspheres release the antibiotic over time, killing bacteria so your gums can heal better than with SRP alone. 

Arestin makes SRP more effective in the treatment of periodontal disease.
