Clorni Gel belongs to the class of medication called oral, topical antimicrobial agents primarily used in treating gum and mouth ulcers.

Clorni Gel is a medication that combines chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and ornidazole (an antibiotic). Clorni Gel is mostly used to treat mouth ulcers. Chlorhexidine aids in symptom relief by binding to the inner surface of teeth, cheeks, and Ornidazole, which is bactericidal and kills bacteria by damaging their DNA and preventing their growth and spread. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained, and going out and performing daily activities becomes easier.
