INTRODUCTION

Dologel Gel is a fast-acting pain relief gel used for relieving pain due to ulcers in the inner lip, tongue, palate, inner side of cheek, gums and pain due to dentures. It contains choline salicylate, lignocaine and benzalkonium chloride as active ingredients to relieve pain caused by mouth ulcers.

Choline salicylate reduces inflammation and swelling and speeds up the healing process. Lignocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that has numbing and cooling effects and temporarily relieves the pain. Benzalkonium chloride kills the bacteria and prevents secondary infection in the ulcer, hence promoting rapid ulcer healing.

Always use Dologel Gel as advised by the doctor. It is for dental use only. Apply the gel sufficiently over the affected area with a clean index finger and stuff the cavity with a soaked cotton swab or as directed by the doctor. Do not exceed the recommended usage. Inform your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines including prescription, over-the-counter medications, as well as herbal products.
