About Gumloc Gel

Gumloc Gel belongs to a class of drugs called ‘antiseptic’ primarily used to treat gum problems like swollen, bleeding, spongy, or loose gums. Besides this, Gumloc Gel is used to treat mouth ulcers, pyorrhoea (a severe gum infection that destroys jawbone and loosens teeth), gingivitis (gum inflammation), or Vincent’s disease (dirty grey ulceration of the mucus membranes).

Gumloc Gel is a combination of three drugs, namely: Tannic acid (astringent), Zinc chloride (hemostatic agent and astringent), and Cetrimide (antiseptic). Tannic acid is an astringent and protein that helps to contract skin cells, thereby healing and relieving irritation due to mouth ulcers. Zinc chloride is a hemostatic agent with astringent properties that prevent bleeding and toughen the skin. Cetrimide is an antibacterial that works by preventing microbe growth (bacteria) that could infect broken skin in the mouth.

Use Gumloc Gel as advised by your dentist. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Gumloc Gel based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation at the site of the application. Most of these side effects of Gumloc Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Gumloc Gel or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you have asthma, blood clotting disorders, or digestive system problems (ulcers), inform your doctor before taking Gumloc Gel. Gumloc Gel is for external (dental) use only. Avoid contact of Gumloc Gel with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Gumloc Gel comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before taking Gumloc Gel. Avoid using Gumloc Gel in large amounts or use for a longer time than recommended as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects.

Zinc chloride is a hemostatic agent with astringent properties that stop bleeding and toughen the skin. Cetrimide belongs to the class of antiseptics that works by preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria that could infect broken skin in the mouth.
