About Elugel 20Mg Tube
Elugel 20Mg Tube is used to treat various oral conditions such as gingivitis, mouth ulcers, denture sore mouth, oral thrush and dental cavities. Gum disease causes gums to become red, swollen, and bleed easily. Denture sore mouth is inflammation under dentures, often due to poor hygiene. Dental cavities are tooth decay caused by acid-producing bacteria, usually linked to poor oral hygiene or high sugar intake.
Elugel 20Mg Tube contains chlorhexidine gluconate, which binds to bacterial cell walls and disrupts their cell membranes, effectively killing bacteria in the mouth.
In some cases, Elugel 20Mg Tube may cause common side effects, such as a burning sensation, tingling, a change in taste, or numbness in the mouth. Most of these side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention.
Please do not use Elugel 20Mg Tube if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. If you are unsure, please check with your healthcare professional. Before using Elugel 20Mg Tube, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
