Smilogel Mouth Ulcer Gel

Smilogel Mouth Ulcer Gel is a combination medicine used in the treatment of mouth ulcers. It promotes the healing of mouth ulcers by forming a protective coating over the mouth sores. It also blocks the transmission of pain signals to the brain to decrease the sensation of pain.

If they do not get better with time or worsen, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the side effects.

Before using the medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines for the same condition or other diseases. To make sure the medicine is safe, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using the medicine.
