About Orashield Gel

Orashield Gel is a combination medicine primarily used to treat 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.

Orashield Gel contains Choline salicylate and lidocaine. Choline salicylate works by blocking the action of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Lidocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby helping decrease the pain sensations. 

Use Orashield Gel as advised by the doctor. If Orashield Gel comes in contact with eyes, rinse with water immediately. You are advised to use Orashield Gel for as long as your doctor prescribes it, depending on your medical condition. 

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Orashield Gel in more than suggested doses or on a large area of skin for longer, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not use Orashield Gel to treat mouth ulcers in children unless suggested by the doctor.

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 the cause of developing mouth ulcers.
