Benefits of Elugel Gel
In Skin infections
Elugel is used to treat skin infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria. It kills and stops the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thereby clearing the infection and relieving the symptoms. It also blocks the release of chemicals that cause symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. Therefore this medicine relieves the inflammation due to these infections. You should use Elugel for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back.
In Treatment of Mouth infection
Whenever there is an overgrowth of microorganisms in our mouth, that are otherwise normally present, it can lead to unpleasant symptoms suggestive of mouth infection. These symptoms include bad breath, swollen gums, unpleasant taste changes, sensitivity of teeth to hot or cold food/liquid etc. Elugel kills and prevents the growth of these bacteria, thereby relieving these symptoms. This helps in maintaining good oral hygiene.
Poor oral hygiene can be extremely embarrassing and can affect your social life. This medicine helps restore your self-confidence and makes it easier for you to go about your daily activities. Continue using it as advised by the doctor to get maximum benefit.
