Description
Fogum Gel belongs to the class of medications known as oral, topical antimicrobial agents, which treat gum disorders such as Gingivitis and prevent dental plaque. Fogum Gel can be applied to the affe
cted area inside the mouth. Gingivitis is a bacterial-caused inflammation of the gums that, if left untreated, can lead to periodontitis (gum infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone). This might cause the gums to split from the teeth, resulting in tooth loss. Fogum Gel contains two medications: Metronidazole (an antibiotic) and Chlorhexidine (a disinfectant-an antiseptic). It kills plaque-causing germs in the mouth and produces a protective antibacterial coating over gums and teeth to keep plaque from forming. As a result, it aids in the maintenance of healthy oral and dental health. In some cases, it may even present some Fogum Gel side effects or allergic reactions. Your doctor will determine the Fogum Gel dosage based on the type of illness being treated. To avoid an oral infection and its spread, practise good dental hygiene and brush at least twice a day.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Fogum Gel is a combination medicine that contains 0.25 per cent Chlorhexidine and 1 per cent Metronidazole. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a disinfectant and antiseptic. It works by adhering to the teeth's surface, inner cheeks, and gums. This destroys the bacteria that cause gum disease, tartar, and other illnesses in the mouth.
Metronidazole is bactericidal, it kills bacteria by destroying their DNA, stopping their spread and thereby alleviating symptoms. As a result, good dental hygiene is maintained, and going out and performing daily tasks is made easier....
Directions for Use
- Fogum Gel is available for topical use (for oral use only).
- The dose will be determined by your dentist or doctor based on the type of infection being treated.
- Use your fingertip to apply it solely to the damaged areas of your mouth.
- Do not use in amounts that are higher or lower than what is recommended and shouldn’t be swallowed.
- If you have any unfavourable side effects, talk to your doctor.
- Ascertain that the treatment programme has been finished. Do not stop taking this medication without first talking to your doctor.
