Uses

BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer is prescribed for the treatment of various oral conditions including mouth ulcers, canker sores, and gum irritations. It provides relief from pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing of the affected area. This gel is suitable for both adults and children above the age of 6 years.

Dosage and Administration

For adults and children above the age of 12 years, a small amount of BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer should be applied directly to the affected area of the mouth or gums.

Mechanism of Action

BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer combines the active ingredients Tannic Acid, Choline Salicylate, Cetrimide, and Lidocaine to provide its therapeutic effects. Tannic Acid acts as an astringent, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Choline Salicylate works as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory agent. Cetrimide acts as an antiseptic, preventing infection in the affected area. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that provides temporary relief from pain by numbing the area.

Common side effects may include temporary numbness or tingling sensation in the mouth or gum area. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own.
