Gengigel Gingival Gel – 20ml

Description

Gengigel Gingival Gel – 20ml

Gengigel Gingival Gel is a topical oral gel used to help soothe and protect the gums. It is used to support the healing of inflamed, sore, or bleeding gums, including in conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as following dental procedures.

⸻

How It Works

Gengigel contains hyaluronic acid (also known as hyaluronan), a substance that occurs naturally in the body’s tissues. When applied to the gums, it forms a protective, moisture-retaining layer over the affected area, helping to reduce inflammation, support tissue repair, and promote the healing of damaged gum tissue.

⸻

Directions for Use

Apply a small amount of gel directly to the affected gum area using a clean fingertip or a soft toothbrush. Use 3 to 4 times daily, ideally after meals and before bedtime. Gently massage the gel into the gums and leave in place — do not rinse the mouth immediately after application. Gengigel is suitable for adults and children; however, use in young children should be supervised by an adult. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Who Should Not Take This Medicine

Interactions

Gengigel is applied topically to the gums and is not known to interact with other medicines when used as directed. However, if you are using other oral gels, antiseptic mouthwashes, or dental treatments at the same time, allow a short interval between applications to ensure the gel is not removed before it can act. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Gengigel Gingival Gel is applied topically to the gums and is not expected to pose a risk during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as systemic absorption is considered to be minimal. However, as with all medicines, caution is advised. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

There are no known interactions between Gengigel Gingival Gel and alcohol. However, alcohol-containing drinks may irritate already inflamed or sensitive gum tissue, so it is advisable to avoid alcohol shortly after applying the gel to allow it to work effectively.

⸻

Driving and Operating Machinery

Gengigel Gingival Gel is applied topically to the gums and is not expected to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. It does not cause drowsiness or impair concentration.
