Oraleez Gel 10G

COMPOSITION

Choline Salicylate 8.714% w/w. Cetalkonium Chloride 0.01 % w/w 

ACTION

Oraleez gel contains two active ingredients, choline salicylate and cetalkonium chloride. Choline salicylate belongs to a group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase in the body. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of prostaglandins in the body which are involved in causing inflammation. The body produces prostaglandins in response to injury and they cause an increase in the blood supply to the area of damage. This results in swelling, heat, redness and pain in that area. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, choline salicylate prevents the formation of prostaglandins and hence reduces inflammation and pain in the area of the mouth it is applied to. Cetalkonium chloride is an antiseptic that kills a variety of bacteria and fungi that might infect sores or broken skin in the mouth. The choline salicylate in Oraleez gel is used to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by mouth ulcers, denture irritation and cold sores. The antiseptic action of cetalkonium chloride helps prevent the irritated areas

from getting infected and this can help them heal. 

INDICATIONS

Mouth ulcers. Denture irritation. Cold sores. Since ulceration of the oral mucosa can occur due to various causes it is important to establish the diagnosis in each case as the majority of these lesions require specific management in addition to the local treatment.
