Benefits of Bifolate Oral Gel

In Treatment of Mouth ulcers

Mouth ulcers are small painful sores on inner lips, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth or throat that may interfere with eating, drinking and even talking. BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel blocks chemicals in our brain that are responsible for pain sensation and inflammation. Therefore it provides relief from pain, discomfort and symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling or burning sensation due to mouth ulcers. This makes it easier for you to go about your daily activities. Continue using it as advised by the doctor to get maximum benefit.

How to use Bifolate Oral Gel

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Bifolate Oral Gel works

BI-Folate Mouth Ulcer Gel is a combination of antimicrobials and pain relievers. Tannic acid inhibits the growth of certain bacteria and the formation of dental plaque biofilm, protects the periodontal membrane, prevents the surface demineralization of enamel and promotes the re-mineralization of the enamel. Choline salicylate blocks the release of certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation. Cetrimide works as an antiseptic. Lidocaine interrupts the transfer of pain signals from a wound to the brain.
