About Seleno Tablet

Seleno Tablet is a specialised oral gel used to relieve the pain, discomfort, and inflammation caused by mouth ulcers, denture sores, and irritation from orthodontic braces. It provides temporary, localised relief from painful lesions inside the mouth, helping to ease the discomfort of eating, drinking, and speaking. By acting directly on the affected oral tissues, it targets the source of pain quickly.

Apply Seleno Tablet as directed by your doctor or dentist, usually after meals and at bedtime. Applying it after meals helps the gel remain in contact with the affected area longer. Avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing your mouth for at least 30 minutes after application. It is important to apply the gel after meals so that it is not immediately washed away by food or drink. To assist the healing process, it is also helpful to make simple lifestyle adjustments, such as drinking plenty of water and avoiding sharp or highly seasoned foods that can further aggravate the delicate lining of your mouth.

While Seleno Tablet is highly effective for localised relief, some people may experience mild, temporary side effects such as a burning or tingling sensation at the site of application. If you experience any severe reactions, such as swelling of the mouth, face, or throat, or difficulty breathing, you should stop using the gel and consult your doctor immediately.

Before using this medication, talk to your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or liver disease. Do not take this if you are allergic to aspirin, other salicylates, or local anaesthetics. This medicine is generally not recommended for children and teenagers under 16 years of age because salicylate-containing products have been associated with a rare but serious condition called Reye’s syndrome, particularly when used during viral infections such as the flu or chickenpox. Consult a doctor for safer alternatives for children.

Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol immediately after application, as they can cause further irritation to the healing tissues in your mouth. If you are taking other medications, such as blood thinners or oral pain relievers, discuss this with your pharmacist to prevent any potential interactions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an elderly individual, consult your doctor before using Seleno Tablet .

Uses of Seleno Tablet

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

  • Mouth ulcers: Seleno Tablet helps reduce the intense pain and localised swelling associated with aphthous ulcers (common mouth ulcers), allowing the delicate lining of the mouth to heal comfortably.
  • Denture sores: It relieves the painful pressure spots and irritations caused by new or ill-fitting dentures.
  • Orthodontic irritation: It soothes sores and cuts on the inner cheeks and lips caused by contact with dental braces or wires.
  • Oral sores and irritation: It may provide temporary relief from pain caused by sores inside the mouth, such as aphthous ulcers (common mouth ulcers). It is not intended to treat herpes-related cold sores on the outer lip.

Key Benefits

When applied as suggested, this medicine offers several important benefits, including:

  • Fast-Acting Pain Relief: The gel formulation begins working within minutes of application. By numbing the sensitive nerve endings in the oral cavity, it allows you to eat, drink, and speak with minimal discomfort.
  • Reduced Inflammation: Seleno Tablet helps lower the swelling, redness, and heat around the sore area, creating a calmer environment that supports natural tissue recovery.
  • Targeted Application: Because it is applied directly to the affected site, the medication delivers concentrated relief exactly where it is needed, minimising the risk of systemic side effects throughout the body.

Directions for Use

Always follow your doctor's exact instructions when using Seleno Tablet . Below is a step-by-step guide for proper application:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after application.
  • Squeeze a small, pea-sized amount of the gel onto a clean fingertip or a cotton bud.
  • Gently dab the gel directly onto the sore or ulcerated area in your mouth. Avoid rubbing the area harshly.
  • Do not eat, drink, or rinse your mouth for at least 30 minutes after applying the gel to ensure the medicine is not washed away
  • Close the tube tightly after each use to prevent the gel from drying out.

How Seleno Tablet Works

Seleno Tablet combines two active components that work together to relieve oral discomfort. The first component is choline salicylate, a salicylate compound with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It works by reducing the production of chemical messengers involved in pain and inflammation. It is related to the salicylate group of medicines and has effects similar to some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The second component is lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. It works by temporarily blocking the pathway of pain signals along the nerves to the brain. When applied to the lining of your mouth, it numbs the area almost immediately. Together, these two ingredients provide rapid, dual-action relief from both active pain and underlying swelling.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid irritating foods and drinks: Limit spicy, acidic, salty, or very hot foods and beverages, as they may worsen mouth irritation, increase discomfort, and slow the healing of mouth ulcers.
  • Choose soft, gentle foods: Prefer soft, bland options such as yoghurt, clear soups, mashed vegetables, or smoothies that require less chewing and reduce irritation to sensitive areas.
  • Maintain gentle oral care: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush carefully to avoid scratching or irritating the affected areas of the gums, cheeks, or mouth lining.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep the mouth moist, support healing, and help remove food particles that may contribute to bacterial growth.
  • Manage stress levels: Practise relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or other calming activities, as stress may contribute to the recurrence of mouth ulcers.

Drug-Drug Interactions:

Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they may interact.
