PROVEN RESULTS
The use of a locally administered antibiotic (LAA) is not a new concept. For years, dental professionals have used antibiotics in conjunction with scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures. However, ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg is the first LAA with Microspheres that has been PROVEN to be more effective than SRP alone.
Adding ARESTIN® makes a significant difference
The leading locally administered antibiotic (LAA), ARESTIN®, delivers a sustained dose of minocycline directly to infected pockets, helping to kill the bacteria that SRP can leave behind.
- ARESTIN® provides safe, localized drug concentrations at the site of the infection
- ARESTIN® helps maintain therapeutic drug concentrations in the periodontal pocket for up to 21 days
- ARESTIN® stays in place after application and does not require removal

Minimal side effects were reported in clinical studies, and those that were reported were similar to placebo (no treatment at all). In key clinical trials, the most common adverse events associated with treatment were headache (9.0%), infection (7.6%), flu syndrome (5.0%), and pain (4.3%).
