Product introduction
Dologel CT Gel is a dental gel combining an anti-inflammatory salicylate with a local anaesthetic, made for direct application on mouth ulcers. It is designed to give quick, localised relief from the pain and irritation that ulcers cause while eating, drinking, or talking. The gel is applied only inside the mouth and is not meant to be swallowed or used on skin elsewhere. It is available without a prescription but is best used for the short duration a dentist or doctor recommends.
Storage: Store below 25°C
Uses of Dologel CT Gel
- Mouth ulcers
- Pain and discomfort from ulcers inside the mouth
- Local inflammation such as redness, swelling or burning in the mouth
Benefits of Dologel CT Gel
The gel targets pain, swelling, and the burning sensation that mouth ulcers commonly cause, making everyday activities like eating more comfortable. Its anaesthetic component brings on relief within a short time of application, while the anti-inflammatory component works to calm the irritated tissue around the ulcer. Used as directed, it can make the healing period noticeably less uncomfortable.
Side effects of Dologel CT Gel
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Mild local irritation or burning on application
- Temporary numbness in the mouth
- Altered taste sensation
- Rare allergic reaction in sensitive individuals
How to use Dologel CT Gel
Apply a small amount of the gel directly onto the ulcer using clean, dry fingers. Avoid eating or drinking immediately after application so the gel has time to act on the affected area. Use it in the amount and for the number of days advised by your doctor or dentist rather than continuing indefinitely.
How Dologel CT Gel works
Choline salicylate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that reduces the chemical messengers responsible for pain and swelling at the ulcer site. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that temporarily blocks pain signals travelling from the nerve endings in the mouth, giving fast, short-term numbing relief.

Frequently asked questions
How soon does Dologel CT Gel relieve ulcer pain?
The anaesthetic component generally starts easing pain and burning shortly after application, though individual response can vary.
Can I eat right after applying the gel?
It is best to avoid eating or drinking immediately after application so the gel is not wiped away before it acts, and because the mouth may feel temporarily numb.
Is this gel safe for children?
Use in children should be guided by a doctor or dentist, since dosing needs differ from adults.
How long can I use Dologel CT Gel?
It is meant for short-term use on active ulcers, for the duration your doctor or dentist recommends, rather than continuous long-term use.
What should I do if the ulcer does not improve?
See a dentist or doctor if the ulcer persists, worsens, or keeps recurring despite using the gel as directed.
