Choline Salicylate (9 %)

Oraflora Gel is primarily used to help manage minor mouth pain and inflammation. This over-the-counter oral gel is part of a group of medicines known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

In addition to managing mouth discomfort, it can also be used for the relief of pain associated with mouth ulcers, canker sores, cold sores, denture sore spots, sores from orthodontic devices and dental work, and teething pain in infants. The gel formulation allows direct application to the affected areas inside the mouth for targeted pain relief and reduced inflammation.

Before starting on this medication, it's important to consult your doctor about the appropriate dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines before beginning the medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. Continue using the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Directions for Use of Oraflora 9 % Gel 10 ML

To use Oraflora Gel, follow these steps:

Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
Dry the area affected with a clean tissue.
Apply a thin layer of the gel to the sore or inflamed part of your mouth using a cotton swab or clean finger.
Massage the gel gently into the site, ensuring it fully coats the area.
Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking for 30 minutes post-application to allow the gel to work effectively.
Always consult your doctor for specific advice.

Oraflora Gel is applied topically.

Oraflora Gel may have the following common side effects:

Dryness or peeling of the skin
Itching
Redness
Rash
Burning sensation in the mouth: This could be a mild burning feeling after applying the gel, but it typically resolves quickly.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Oraflora Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning sensation in the mouth: If you feel a mild burning sensation after applying Oraflora Gel, try using a smaller amount next time.
Dryness or peeling of the skin: If your mouth feels dry or starts to peel after using this medicine, drinking plenty of water may help keep your mouth moist.

Oraflora Gel contains two active ingredients:

Choline Salicylate (9%): As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), choline salicylate works by blocking prostaglandins — chemical messengers in your body that cause pain, inflammation and swelling at the site of injury or irritation. Doing this helps reduce soreness and discomfort.
Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02%): This compound acts as an antiseptic agent. It kills bacteria and other potentially harmful microbes in the mouth, which can further expedite the healing process of oral sores and ulcers.

Pregnancy

If you're expecting, take caution while using Oraflora Gel. It's best to have a word with your doctor before you begin applying this gel.

Breastfeeding

For breastfeeding moms, it's wise to consult your doctor prior to using Oraflora Gel.

Alcohol

Interactions between alcohol and Oraflora Gel are unlikely as this is a topical product. However, it is always prudent to seek your doctor's guidance.

Liver

Generally, people with liver health issues can use Oraflora Gel as it works locally in the mouth. Nonetheless, consult your doctor if you have a history of liver problems.

Kidney

As with liver health, those with kidney conditions can typically use Oraflora Gel. Always check with your doctor if you have any kidney-related concerns.

Using Machines & Driving

Topical application of Oraflora Gel in the mouth does not typically affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Allergy

Children

Oraflora Gel is safe for use in children above 2 years of age when used as directed. Ensure you always consult your child's doctor before starting this gel.

Older Patients

Elderly patients can use Oraflora Gel as directed without specific dosage adjustments. However, they should do so under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Oraflora Gel interacts with the following medicines:

Other NSAIDs: If Oraflora Gel is used in combination with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the mouth, such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, this might increase the risk of side effects.
Blood Thinners and Corticosteroids: Medicines like warfarin and prednisolone can increase the chance of mouth irritation or bleeding when used alongside Oraflora Gel.

There are no known specific interactions between Oraflora Gel and any foods or beverages.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Oraflora Gel interacts with the following diseases:

Stomach Ulcers: The presence of choline salicylate in Oraflora Gel could potentially aggravate stomach ulcers.
Asthma Exacerbated by NSAIDs: In asthma patients whose condition worsens with NSAIDs, using Oraflora Gel might lead to increased asthma symptoms.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will determine the daily dose of Oraflora Gel based on individual factors such as condition severity and treatment response. Never exceed this prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Applying too much Oraflora Gel may cause minor burning, irritation, or dry skin at the application site. If these symptoms persist after applying excessive gel, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Oraflora Gel, do so as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Always consult your doctor before changing any dosage instructions.

Ensure Oraflora Gel is stored at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Close the tube tightly when not in use to prevent air exposure.
Keep it out of reach of children for their safety.

Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth hydrated; a dry mouth can worsen mouth ulcers and cold sores.
Avoid eating spicy or acidic foods, which can irritate mouth sores and delay healing. Opt for soft, bland foods until your condition improves.
