Mechanism of Action
Lidocaine/Lignocaine, Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Metronidazole, which treats mouth sores. Lidocaine/Lignocaine is a local anesthetic which forms a protective coating over the mouth sores and blocks pain signals to further relieve pain. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic and disinfectant which effectively cleans out the ulcer surface to prevent infection. Metronidazole is an antibiotic which kills the bacteria and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA.
