Drujela Mouth Gel (Mouth Ulcer) x10g

Drujela Mouth Gel combines Choline Salicylate (analgesic and anti-inflammatory) with Cetalkonium Chloride (antiseptic). This dual-action formula provides pain relief while fighting infection in various oral conditions, making it effective for mouth ulcers, gum inflammation, and oral discomfort.

Uses

Drujela Mouth Gel treats painful mouth ulcers, aphthous stomatitis, gingivitis, denture irritation, and minor oral injuries. It’s also used for teething pain in infants, post-dental procedure discomfort, and temporary relief of toothache while awaiting dental care.

Benefits

• Provides rapid pain relief for oral lesions
• Reduces inflammation of gum tissue
• Prevents bacterial infection in mouth sores
• Promotes faster healing of oral ulcers
• Creates protective coating over damaged tissue
• Soothes irritation from dentures or braces
• Relieves discomfort from minor dental procedures
• Safe for use in teething infants when properly applied
• Offers temporary management of dental pain

How It Works

Choline Salicylate, a salicylate derivative, reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Cetalkonium Chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound, disrupts bacterial cell membranes to prevent infection. The gel formulation adheres to oral mucosa, providing localized and prolonged action at the application site.

Dosage

Apply directly to affected area using a clean fingertip. Use after meals and before bedtime for best results. Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after application.

Duration of Action

Drujela begins working within 5-10 minutes of application. Pain relief typically lasts for 2-3 hours. The antiseptic effect continues working for up to 4 hours. Most ulcers show significant improvement after 3-5 days of regular use, though complete healing may take 7-10 days depending on severity.

Side Effects

Most patients tolerate Drujela well. Temporary burning or stinging sensation may occur upon application. Rare side effects include mouth irritation, altered taste sensation, or localized allergic reactions. Systemic side effects are uncommon due to minimal absorption.

Warning

Avoid swallowing large amounts of the gel. Not for continuous use beyond 7 days without dental consultation. Contains salicylates; do not use in children with history of salicylate sensitivity or those recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms due to risk of Reye’s syndrome.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Use with caution during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester when salicylates should generally be avoided. Short-term, localized use is generally considered acceptable when benefits outweigh risks. Safe during breastfeeding when used as directed due to minimal systemic absorption.

Interaction

• May enhance effects of oral anticoagulants like warfarin
• Potential interaction with methotrexate if absorbed systemically
• Could interact with other NSAID medications if swallowed
• May interfere with oral steroid treatments applied to same area
• Possible reduced effectiveness when used with highly acidic mouth rinses

Precaution

Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on severely infected areas requiring professional treatment. Patients with aspirin allergy, asthma, or bleeding disorders should consult healthcare provider before use. Diabetic patients should monitor for possible oral infections. Discontinue if irritation worsens or persists.

Important Information

Drujela provides symptomatic relief but is not a substitute for professional dental care. Persistent mouth ulcers lasting more than two weeks should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Store at room temperature away from direct heat and light. Keep out of reach of children. Discard any unused gel after 6 months of opening.
