Orex Gel

Apply Orex Gel exactly as directed by your doctor. Wash your hands before and after application. Apply a small amount directly to the affected ulcer using a clean finger or cotton applicator. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application, unless otherwise instructed, to allow the medicine to remain in contact with the ulcer. Continue using it for the recommended duration.

Limited information is available on the common side effects of Orex Gel. Some people may experience temporary burning or stinging at the application site, mild irritation, tingling, numbness, or an unpleasant taste. These effects are usually mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to benzalkonium chloride, choline salicylate, menthol, tannic acid, salicylates, or any of the other ingredients.

Consult your doctor before use if mouth ulcers persist for more than two weeks, recur frequently, or are associated with fever, severe pain, or difficulty swallowing.

• Mouth ulcers : A condition in which painful sores develop on the inside of the mouth, lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums. They may be caused by minor injury, stress, nutritional deficiencies, certain foods, infections, or underlying medical conditions.

• Apply the medicine directly to the ulcer using clean hands or a cotton applicator, and use only the amount recommended by your doctor.
• Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the medicine to remain in contact with the ulcer and provide maximum benefit.
• Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush gently around the affected area to avoid further irritation.
• Floss once daily to remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth, helping keep the mouth clean and reducing the risk of secondary infection.
• Rinse your mouth with plain water or a mild salt-water solution after meals, if advised by your doctor, to help keep the ulcer clean.
• Avoid spicy, acidic, salty, very hot, or hard foods, as these can irritate the ulcer and delay healing. Choose soft, bland foods until the ulcer improves.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist, as dryness may worsen irritation and discomfort.
• If you develop frequent mouth ulcers, discuss the issue with your doctor, as recurrent ulcers may be associated with nutritional deficiencies or other underlying medical conditions that require evaluation.
