METROHEX PLUS GEL

METROHEX PLUS Gel is an oral care medicine used for the treatment of mouth ulcers, gum infections, and oral inflammation. It contains Lidocaine (2% w/w), Chlorhexidine Gluconate (1% w/w), and Metronidazole (1% w/w), which work together to reduce pain, control bacterial growth, and support healing inside the mouth. 

The gel helps relieve discomfort caused by mouth ulcers, swollen gums, oral infections, and irritation associated with dental conditions. Lidocaine provides a numbing effect that helps reduce pain and burning sensation, while Chlorhexidine and Metronidazole help control infection-causing microorganisms in the oral cavity. 

Regular use as advised by the doctor may help improve oral comfort, reduce infection, and promote faster healing of affected areas inside the mouth.
