Gelclair

Gelclair is a bioadherent oral gel that is used to manage and relieve the pain of various types of oral mucositis, a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is a non-medicated gel that forms a protective barrier over the oral mucosa to soothe painful lesions and provide relief.

Composition

Gelclair is composed of a patented bioadherent polymer, PVP, hyaluronic acid, and glycyrrhetinic acid. The PVP and hyaluronic acid form a protective coating over the oral mucosa, while the glycyrrhetinic acid provides additional soothing and anti-inflammatory effects.

Indications

Gelclair is indicated for the management and relief of pain associated with oral mucositis, stomatitis, aphthous ulcers, and other oral lesions. It is also used to relieve the discomfort caused by dry mouth or xerostomia.

Usage

Gelclair is typically used three times a day or as needed. It is usually used after meals to provide maximum relief and protection. The gel is mixed with water to form a gel-like solution that is swished around the mouth and then spit out.

Side Effects

As a non-medicated product, Gelclair has minimal side effects. However, some users may experience a mild stinging or burning sensation upon application. If these symptoms persist, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions

Gelclair should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. It is not intended for systemic use and should not be ingested.
