Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole

Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole is a combination medicine that provides a comprehensive approach for managing oral conditions such as mouth ulcers, gingivitis, and other infections. Lidocaine acts as a local anesthetic, offering rapid pain relief and comfort during oral discomfort. Chlorhexidine gluconate serves as an effective antiseptic, reducing bacterial load and preventing secondary infections. Metronidazole, an antimicrobial agent, targets anaerobic bacteria, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation. Together, these agents address pain, infection, and microbial imbalance simultaneously, supporting both symptom relief and recovery. This synergy enhances oral hygiene and accelerates the healing process.

Uses of Lidocaine + Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Metronidazole

• Treats Mouth Ulcers and Sores: Provides rapid pain relief by numbing affected areas with lidocaine. Chlorhexidine gluconate prevents bacterial growth, while metronidazole targets anaerobic bacteria, reduces infection risk, and promotes faster healing of mouth ulcers, sores, and oral irritations.
