Choline Salicylate+lignocaine
About Choline Salicylate+lignocaine
Choline Salicylate+lignocaine is an oral gel used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation caused by mouth ulcers, denture sores, and dental irritations. It provides targeted comfort directly to the affected areas inside the mouth, helping to ease the discomfort that makes eating and speaking difficult. Applying the gel consistently as directed ensures the area remains protected and pain-free during the healing process.
Apply this medicine as recommended by your doctor, usually after meals to ensure it stays on the affected area as long as possible. Avoid eating or drinking immediately after application to allow the gel to work. Incorporating soft foods and avoiding acidic items in your diet can also help speed up your recovery.
You may experience a mild, temporary burning or tingling sensation where you apply the gel, which usually goes away quickly. If you experience severe burning, swelling of your mouth or throat, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.
Talk to your doctor before using Choline Salicylate+lignocaine if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or severe liver damage. Do not use this medicine if you have a known allergy to local anaesthetics or pain-relieving compounds like aspirin.
Tell your doctor if you are taking blood-thinning medicines, as certain components of this gel can interact with them. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or caring for an elderly patient, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment to ensure it is safe to use.

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 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, viral, bacterial, or fungal infections could cause developing mouth ulcers.
