Benefits of Metrohex Plus Gel

Treatment of Mouth infection
Whenever there is an overgrowth of microorganisms in our mouth, that are otherwise normally present, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms of mouth infection like ulcers, bad breath, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, sensitivity of teeth to hot or cold food/liquid, etc. Metrohex Plus Gel kills and prevents the growth of these microorganisms, thereby relieving these symptoms. It also makes teeth stronger and prevents dental cavities. This medicine helps restore your self-confidence and makes you feel better. Practice good oral hygiene like brushing twice daily and rinsing with antiseptic mouth wash 2-3 times a day to avoid mouth infections in the future.

How Metrohex Plus Gel works

Metrohex Plus Gel is a combination of two medicines: Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Metronidazole. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, tartar and other mouth infections. Metronidazole is an antibiotic which kills bacteria and other infectious microorganisms by damaging the DNA.
