What is Anbesol Adult Gel?

The two other active ingredients, cetylpyridinium chloride and chlorocresol, kill the bacteria in the mouth.

Can I use this gel if I am taking other medication?
If you are taking any medication, prescribed or not, then contact your doctor before using this gel. This is because there could be interference between ingredients.
