Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

ORNIGREAT GEL is used to treat and prevent oral infections. The detailed uses of ORNIGREAT GEL are as follows:

  • Gingivitis: ORNIGREAT GEL is used to reduce gum inflammation, bleeding, and tenderness.
  • Dental plaque: ORNIGREAT GEL prevents plaque buildup and promotes oral hygiene.

Medicinal Benefits

ORNIGREAT GEL contains Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and Ornidazole (an antibiotic). ORNIGREAT GEL is primarily used in treating mouth infections. When microorganisms overgrow the otherwise normally present mouth, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms like mouth sores or ulcers, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, and suggestive mouth infections. Chlorhexidine aids in symptom relief by binding to the inner surface of teeth, cheeks, and Ornidazole, which is bactericidal and kills bacteria by damaging their DNA and preventing their growth and spread. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained, and going out and performing daily activities becomes easier.
