About Bi-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel

Bi-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel is a combination of local anti-infective and antiseptic preparations. It is used in the treatment of mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful lesions that develop in the mouth or gums' base.

Bi-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel is a combination of four drugs: Cetrimide, Choline Salicylate, Lignocaine and Tannic Acid. Cetrimide is an antiseptic to prevent bacterial and fungal growth around the ulcer. Choline Salicylate reduces pain and inflammation by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which cause these symptoms. Lignocaine numbs the area to provide temporary pain relief. Tannic Acid protects the ulcer and promotes healing by forming a coating. It may also have some antibacterial and antiviral effects as well. Together, it relieves pain, inflammation, and discomfort caused by mouth ulcers.

Mouth ulcers, also called canker sores or aphthous ulcers, are small, round sores that develop on the soft tissues inside your mouth. They are usually shallow but can be quite painful.
The exact cause of mouth ulcers is unknown, but several factors can contribute to them, including: • Minor mouth injuries from biting your cheek, brushing too hard, or ill-fitting dentures, stress and anxiety. • Hormonal changes, particularly during menstruation. • Certain foods like acidic fruits (citrus), spicy foods, or chocolate. • Food sensitivities. • Certain medications. • Lack of vitamins B12, iron, or folate. • Weakened immune system due to a cold or other illness.
Avoid eating and drinking for 30-60 minutes after using Bi-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel, as it might impair your ability to swallow.
