How Metrohex Products work
Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole is a combination of three medicines: Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole1, Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole2 and Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole3, which treats mouth sores. Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole1 is a local anesthetic which forms a protective coating over the mouth sores and blocks pain signals to further relieve pain. Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole2 is an antiseptic and disinfectant which effectively cleans out the ulcer surface to prevent infection. Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole3 is an antibiotic which kills the bacteria and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA.
