About Clorni Gel

Clorni Gel belongs to the class of medication called oral, topical antimicrobial agents primarily used in treating gum and mouth ulcers. Generally, Clorni Gel comes in gel form for application inside the mouth on the affected area as Clorni 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.

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.

Clorni Gel comes in gel form for application inside the mouth on the affected area. Your doctor will decide the dose depending on the type of infection being treated. Contact of Clorni Gel with eye should be avoided; if you accidentally touch your eyes while applying Clorni Gel, please wash it immediately.

If these effects appear and are bothersome, call your doctor or pharmacist.
