About CHOLINE SALICYLATE
CHOLINE SALICYLATE belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), primarily used to treat mouth ulcers. CHOLINE SALICYLATE is used to treat pain, inflammation, ulcerations, irritation, or injuries of the oral cavity, including mouth mucous membrane, gums, pharynx, and periodontal ligament.
CHOLINE SALICYLATE contains 'Choline salicylate' that works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as redness, irritation, burning or itching sensation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side-effects persist or worsen.
Talk to your doctor if your condition does not improve despite using CHOLINE SALICYLATE for a week. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side-effects/interactions.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Mouth ulcers: Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores are small, painful lesions that develop in the mouth or at the base of the gums. These can make you uncomfortable while eating, drinking, and talking. Mouth ulcers usually heal within a few weeks and are not contagious. People with a family history of canker sores are at more risk of developing mouth ulcers. Minor mouth injury from dental work or hard brushing, acidic foods, lack of essential vitamins, dental braces, emotional stress, and viral, bacterial, or fungal infections could be a cause of developing mouth ulcers.
