DENTOGELBOTTLE, manufactured by INDOCO REMEDIES LTD, is an oral liquid primarily used for temporary relief from pain and discomfort in the mouth. It contains a combination of Choline Salicylate and Lidocaine.

What is DENTOGELBOTTLE used for?

DENTOGELBOTTLE is used to provide temporary relief from pain and discomfort associated with mouth ulcers, denture irritation, and injury due to dental attachments like braces. It can also help with inflammation in the middle part of the throat (oropharynx).

How does DENTOGELBOTTLE work?

DENTOGELBOTTLE contains two active ingredients: Choline Salicylate and Lidocaine. Choline Salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and inflammation (such as redness and swelling). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that decreases pain sensation by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain.

What is the usual dosage for DENTOGELBOTTLE?

Apply DENTOGELBOTTLE over the affected area with a clean fingertip, three to four times a day, or as directed by your doctor. It is meant for topical application and should not be swallowed.

What are the possible side effects of DENTOGELBOTTLE?

Common side effects may include burning, redness, itching, or irritation at the application site. These are usually mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. In rare cases, excessive use may lead to salicylate toxicity, with symptoms like dizziness, ringing in the ears, and deafness. If you experience persistent side effects, any allergic reactions (such as swelling or rashes), or symptoms of salicylate toxicity, contact your doctor immediately.

Is DENTOGELBOTTLE safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Components of this medicine are known to be unsafe during pregnancy, and thus, DENTOGELBOTTLE should not be used by pregnant women or those who may be pregnant. If you are breastfeeding, it is advisable to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Can DENTOGELBOTTLE be taken with other medications?

DENTOGELBOTTLE is unlikely to interact with most other medicines. However, you should inform your doctor if you are taking other medications, herbal preparations, or supplements. This gel may interfere with blood-thinning medicines (like Warfarin, Heparin) and medicines used to treat gout (like colchicine). Avoid applying any other topical products to the same area after applying DENTOGELBOTTLE to prevent possible side effects.

What precautions should be taken while using DENTOGELBOTTLE?

Avoid contact with eyes and nose, and do not swallow the liquid. DENTOGELBOTTLE can cause numbness of the tongue, so be cautious when eating or drinking hot foods and liquids after application to avoid accidental burns. It should not be used in children or adolescents under 16 years of age due to a potential link between salicylate use and Reye’s syndrome. Also, avoid using it if you are already taking aspirin or other salicylate-containing medicines. If symptoms persist for more than seven days or worsen, consult your doctor.

What happens if a dose of DENTOGELBOTTLE is missed?
