Osstem Pharma has introduced a functional toothpaste aimed at preventing gum disease, expanding its oral care product line primarily through pharmacies.
On August 6, Osstem Pharma announced the launch of its new product, 'Okchi Gum Toothpaste,' under its premium pharmacy oral care brand, Okchi.
Okchi Gum Toothpaste is designed for daily gum care, helping to prevent gum inflammation from the early stages while also managing plaque and cavities.
The product contains three natural ingredients, including a standardized extract from Centella asiatica, which soothes and protects gums, alleviating early symptoms of inflammation such as bleeding and swelling, and helping to prevent periodontal disease. It also includes 1000 ppm of fluoride and plaque-removing agents to enhance cavity prevention and oral hygiene.
An Osstem Pharma representative stated, "Preventive care is crucial for gum disease, especially before symptoms appear. We will continue to expand our lineup to support oral health based on our expertise in the dental field."
Meanwhile, according to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's '2024 Statistics on Common Outpatient Diseases,' the number of patients with gum disease has reached over 19.58 million, surpassing the number of cold cases, which stands at approximately 17.6 million.
