Holisal® Dental Gel 15g: Fast Pain Relief & Inflammation Control
Description:
Holisal® is a transparent, colorless, homogenous dental gel with the scent of anise oil. It provides fast-acting pain relief and inflammation control for various oral conditions. This effective formula combines choline salicylate and cetalkonium chloride for comprehensive action.
Active Ingredients & Mechanism of Action:
- Choline salicylate: A potent analgesic (pain reliever), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever reducer) that quickly absorbs through the oral mucosa. It inhibits cyclooxygenase activity, the function of macrophages and neutrophils, interleukin-1 production, and prostaglandin synthesis. It also possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties in both acidic and alkaline environments.
- Cetalkonium chloride: A broad-spectrum antiseptic effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect.
The gel’s ethanol-containing adhesive base ensures rapid effect onset and prolonged retention of active ingredients on the mucous membrane. Analgesic effects typically begin within 2-3 minutes and can last for 2-8 hours.
Indications:
Holisal® dental gel is indicated for topical application to the oral mucosa for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with:
- Various types of stomatitis
- Gingivitis
- Periodontitis
- Oral mucosal lesions from dentures
- Oral trauma
- Teething pain in children
