Oracure Gel is a topical oral gel designed to provide relief from mouth ulcers, denture irritation, and other oral discomforts. It combines local anesthetic and antiseptic properties to alleviate pain and promote healing.
Key Ingredients
- Lidocaine Hydrochloride (2.0%): A local anesthetic that numbs the affected area, providing quick relief from pain associated with mouth ulcers and other oral irritations.
- Cetylpyridinium Chloride (0.1%): An antiseptic agent that helps reduce bacterial growth in the mouth, aiding in the prevention of infections.
Uses
Oracure Gel is indicated for:
- Mouth Ulcers: Provides symptomatic relief from painful sores in the mouth.
- Denture Irritation: Alleviates discomfort caused by dentures rubbing against the gums.
- Other Oral Discomforts: Helps soothe irritation from minor injuries or dental procedures.
Mechanism of Action
Lidocaine works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is applied, effectively numbing pain. Cetylpyridinium chloride acts as an antiseptic, helping to kill bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.

- Recommended Dosage: Apply a sufficient amount of gel directly to the affected area 3-4 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
