ORNIGREAT GEL belongs to the class of medication called oral, topical antimicrobial agents primarily used in treating gum and mouth ulcers. Generally, ORNIGREAT GEL comes in gel form for application inside the mouth on the affected area as ORNIGREAT GEL. Mouth ulcers are painful and small lesions in the mouth or base of gums. It can make eating, drinking, and talking difficult and uncomfortable.

ORNIGREAT GEL is a medication that combines chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and ornidazole (an antibiotic). ORNIGREAT 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.

The most common side effect of ORNIGREAT GEL is a metallic taste, bitter taste, burning, transient redness, irritation, dryness, and teeth staining. Sometimes it can lead to allergic reactions.

ORNIGREAT GEL contains Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and Ornidazole (an antibiotic). ORNIGREAT GEL is primarily used in treating mouth infections. When microorganisms overgrow the otherwise normally present mouth, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms like mouth sores or ulcers, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, and suggestive mouth infections. 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.
