About Quadrajel Gel

Quadrajel Gel is used in treating gum and mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers are painful and small lesions in the mouth or base of gums. It can make eating, drinking, and talking difficult and uncomfortable.

Quadrajel Gel is a combination medication containing Metronidazole (an antibiotic), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), and Chlorhexidine (an antiseptic). Quadrajel Gel is primarily used in treating mouth ulcers. Lidocaine helps treat mouth ulcers by forming a protective layer on the ulcer and blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and decreasing the sensation of pain. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant which effectively cleans out the ulcer surface to prevent infection and metronidazole; being bactericidal in nature kills the bacteria by damaging its DNA and preventing these bacteria's growth spread hence relieving the symptoms. As a result, good oral hygiene is maintained.

Your doctor will decide the dose depending on the type of infection that is being treated. The most common side effect of Quadrajel Gel is a metallic taste, bitter taste, burning, transient redness, irritation, dryness, and staining of teeth. If these side effects are persistent and bothersome, please see your doctor.

FAQs

Quadrajel Gel may cause staining of teeth if taken for a prolonged time. So, it is advised to take it for a short duration as it is short-term medication.

A bitter taste may be one of the side effects of Quadrajel Gel. It is temporary and usually gets resolved after you stop using the medicine.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.

Melt ice chips over the ulcers and rinsing your mouth with water mixed with salt or baking soda may help to lessen pain. Avoid spicy, acidic, and abrasive foods. Your doctor may prescribe anti-ulcer gels that may treat and relieve pain.
