Not just for babies…
Teejel® Gel is a topical treatment for effective relief of oral pain and discomfort. It is indicated for teething pain and lesions of the mouth, lips and nose such as mouth ulcers, fever blisters, inflammation of the tongue and gums, oral thrush, denture sores, cracked corners of the mouth or nose lesions. Teejel® Gel has proven its efficacy for more than 40 years in South Afr
ica. The gel is rapidly absorbed by the mucous membrane of the mouth, resulting in good analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy. Since the mouth is well endowed with pain nerve endings, lesions of the oral mucosa are apt to cause a pain level out of proportion to their size. Even a small ulcer, which elsewhere would be considered trivial, causes the sufferer great discomfort, particularly if under pressure from a denture. The disturbance caused by a baby’s teething is also well known. The primary need in treatment is for effective and rapid pain relief by topical rather than systemic treatment. Teejel® Gel supplies the answer to this need, and introduces a different approach to the treatment of pain and discomfort of the mouth, whatever its cause. The active ingredient, choline salicylate, is a highly soluble and non-irritant salt of salicylic acid with powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike aspirin, it can be applied directly to mucous membranes without causing irritation. You can find Teejel® Gel in all major leading pharmacies and supermarkets.
