Benefits

Metchloro – L  Gel is primarily used to treat mouth ulcers. It is a combination medication containing Metronidazole (an antibiotic), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), and Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic). Metchloro – L  Gel is primarily used in treating mouth ulcers. Lidocaine, helps treat mouth ulcers by forming a protective layer on the ulcer, blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, and decreasing the pain sensation. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant which effectively cleans out the ulcer surface to prevent infection and metronidazole, being bactericidal in nature kills the bacteria by damaging its DNA and preventing these bacteria’s growth spread hence relieving the symptoms. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained, and it is easier to go out and perform daily activities.
