Choline Salicylate 8.7% w/w + Lidocaine (Lignocaine) Hydrochloride 2% w/w
Symptomatic relief of pain, inflammation and ulcers in the mouth including aphthous ulcers (canker sores), stomatitis, gingivitis, denture/brace sores and minor oral mucosal injuries.
Choline salicylate is a salicylate anti-inflammatory that reduces pain and swelling at the site by inhibiting prostaglandin formation. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that temporarily numbs the oral mucosa by blocking nerve signal conduction.
For local application in the mouth. Apply a small amount of gel on the affected area with a clean finger/cotton bud and gently massage. Use 2–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor; preferably after meals and at bedtime. Avoid eating/drinking for about 15–30 minutes after application.
Common side effects of Mucopain Gel may include:
For external/oral mucosal use only; do not swallow large amounts. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use if allergic to salicylates/aspirin or local anaesthetics (amide type). Use with caution in children, in people with asthma sensitive to aspirin, bleeding disorders, or those on blood thinners. If symptoms persist >7 days, ulcers recur frequently, or there is severe pain/fever, consult a dentist/doctor. Stop use and seek medical help if rash, swelling or breathing difficulty occurs.
