Buy Anbesol Teething Gel

Anbesol Teething Gel provides fast and effective relief from oral pain.

It offers targeted relief where it is needed the most. The sugar-free formula is easy to apply, making it an excellent choice for handling emerging teeth, painful ulcers or irritation from dentures.

 

How Anbesol Teething Gel works

Anbesol Teething Gel contains lidocaine hydrochloride, chlorocresol and cetylpyridinium chloride.

Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that numbs the sensation of pain.

Chlorcresol and cetylpyridinium chloride are antiseptics that kill bacteria.

 

Directions

Always use Anbesol Teething Gel exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Adults: Use a clean fingertip to apply a small amount of the gel to the affected area. You should use 2 product applications. Do not use it more frequently than every 3 hours.

Babies and children: Use a clean fingertip to apply a pea-sized amount of the gel to the affected area. Do not use this product more than 6 times a day or for more than 7 consecutive days during a teething period.

If your child vomits, spits or swallows the medication, you must wait 3 hours before reapplying the product.

 

Side effects

  • Ulcers
  • Dermatitis

 

If you or your child experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

 

Serious side effects

Seek emergency medical attention if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of which include swelling of the face and throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties and/or loss of consciousness. 

 

Warnings

Talk to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist before using this medicine if you or your child have open wounds or damaged areas in the lining of the mouth.
