Iglu Mouth Ulcer Treatment Gel - 8g
What is Iglu Mouth Ulcer Treatment Gel?
Iglu Gel is a treatment for annoying mouth ulcers. It treats and protects your mouth ulcers, helping to ease pain and irritation as they heal. If you’re suffering from annoying mouth ulcers that make eating and talking a chore, Iglu Gel could help.
What are mouth ulcers?
Mouth ulcers are small, painful ulcers that can appear on your lips, tongue, or inside of your mouth. They usually aren’t anything to worry about and will clear up by themselves within a couple of weeks. However, mouth ulcers can be very painful and irritating, especially when you talk, eat, or drink, leaving many people looking for a way to ease their pain and help their ulcer to heal.
How will Iglu Gel treat my mouth ulcer?
Iglu Gel contains 2 active ingredients which work together to soothe your mouth ulcers. The first is lidocaine hydrochloride, which is a local anaesthetic and eases pain and irritation in the area. The second is aminoacridine hydrochloride, which is an antiseptic and combats bacterium around your mouth ulcer. Iglu Gel also forms a gel coating when you’ve applied it to your mouth ulcer, protecting it from further irritation as your mouth heals.
