About Enhex-M Mouth Gel 15 gm

Enhex-M Mouth Gel 15 gm is used in treating gum and mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers are painful and small lesions in the mouth or base of gums. It can make eating, drinking, and talking difficult and uncomfortable.

Lidocaine helps treat mouth ulcers by forming a protective layer on the ulcer and blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and decreasing the sensation of pain. 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.

The most common side effect of Enhex-M Mouth Gel 15 gm is a metallic taste, bitter taste, burning, transient redness, irritation, dryness, and staining of teeth. If these side effects are persistent and bothersome, please see your doctor.
