Megsores Oral Gel

Megsores Oral 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.

Megsores Oral 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 Megsores Oral Gel as advised by the doctor. If Megsores Oral Gel comes in contact with eyes, rinse with water immediately. You are advised to use Megsores Oral 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 Megsores Oral Gel in more than suggested doses or on a large area of skin for longer, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not use Megsores Oral Gel to treat mouth ulcers in children unless suggested by the doctor.

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.
