More Details About the Medicine

Dentisept Gel is a topical oral medicine that contains Benzydamine Hydrochloride and Cetylpyridinium Chloride as its active ingredients. It is manufactured by Hiranis Pharmaceuticals in Pakistan and is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and minor infections affecting the mouth and throat. Dentisept Gel is commonly recommended for mouth ulcers, sore gums, oral mucosal inflammation, and discomfort following dental procedures.

Benzydamine Hydrochloride is a locally acting anti-inflammatory medicine with pain-relieving properties that helps reduce swelling and discomfort in the mouth. Cetylpyridinium Chloride is an antiseptic agent that helps control bacteria responsible for minor oral infections, promoting a cleaner environment for healing.
