Bonjela Gel
Bonjela Gel is useful in relieving pain from mouth ulcers (sakit mulut), reducing baby teething pain, denture irritation, sore spots from braces or cold sores. It contain two active ingredients:
i) CH Cylate – Works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase to prevent the formation of prosta and hence reduces inflammation and pain in the area of the mouth it is applied.
ii) Cetalkonium Chloride – It is an antiseptic that kills a variety of bacteria and fungi that might infect sore or broken skin in the mouth.

- Child>4 mth: rub 0.5 cm onto the sore area, repeat after 3 hrs, not more than 6 doses in 24 h (not suitable for babies <4 mth)
