GRESOR Gel

GRESOR Gel is a topical medication formulated to provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with mouth ulcers and related conditions. It combines three active ingredients:

• Choline Salicylate BP 8.7% w/w: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins).

• Lignocaine Hydrochloride IP 2% w/w (also known as Lidocaine): A local anesthetic that blocks pain signals from the nerves to the brain, decreasing the sensation of pain.

• Benzalkonium Chloride IP 0.01% w/w: An antiseptic agent that helps prevent infection in the affected area.

Uses and Indications:

GRESOR Gel is primarily used to treat:

• Mouth ulcers

• Denture irritation

• Cold sores

It provides symptomatic relief from pain, swelling, redness, and burning sensations in the oral cavity.

Dosage and Administration:

Apply a small amount of GRESOR Gel directly to the affected area using a clean fingertip. One application is typically sufficient. Use up to four times a day. Avoid consuming food or beverages for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the gel to take effect.

Mechanism of Action:

• Choline Salicylate: Reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins.

• Lignocaine Hydrochloride: Provides local anesthesia by blocking sodium channels, thereby preventing the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses.

• Benzalkonium Chloride: Acts as an antiseptic, reducing the risk of infection in the affected area.

Side Effects:

While generally safe, some individuals may experience:

• Burning or stinging sensations upon application

• Temporary taste disturbances

• Gagging or vomiting in rare cases

If any of these effects persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Contraindications:

GRESOR Gel should not be used if you:

• Are allergic to any of its components

• Have a history of hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs or local anesthetics

• Have stomach ulcers or other gastrointestinal disorders

• Have asthma or respiratory issues

• Are under 16 years of age

Consult a doctor before use if you have any of these conditions.

Drug Interactions:

No significant drug interactions are known with GRESOR Gel. However, it's advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
