About Emergel Mouth Wash

CHOLINE SALICYLATE belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), primarily used to treat mouth ulcers. CHOLINE SALICYLATE is indicated for the treatment of pain, inflammation, ulcerations, irritation, or injuries of the oral cavity, which includes mouth mucous membrane, gums, pharynx, and periodontal ligament. 
 
CHOLINE SALICYLATE contains 'Choline salicylate' that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. 
 
Take CHOLINE SALICYLATE as prescribed. You are advised to use CHOLINE SALICYLATE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as redness, irritation, burning, or itching sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Talk to your doctor if your condition does not improve despite using CHOLINE SALICYLATE for a week. Consult your doctor before using CHOLINE SALICYLATE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CHOLINE SALICYLATE is not recommended for use in children below 16years. Inform your doctor before taking other NSAID medicines along with CHOLINE SALICYLATE as it might increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you are taking before taking CHOLINE SALICYLATE to rule out any side effects.
