## What is Ora-Fast Gel

Ora-Fast Gel is a topical oral-care gel used to relieve pain, burning, and inflammation inside the mouth. It is commonly used for recurrent mouth ulcers, canker sores, sore gums, glossitis, stomatitis, denture irritation, and minor dental-procedure-related discomfort. It is applied directly to the affected oral area and should not be swallowed in large amounts.

Ora Fast Gel composition includes Choline Salicylate 8.7% w/w and Lignocaine, also called Lidocaine, 2% w/w. Leeford Healthcare Ltd manufactures this medicine in GMP-certified facilities. The salts in this oral gel are FDA-approved for safety and reliability.

Choline Salicylate belongs to the Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) class. It works by reducing Prostaglandins, which are chemicals involved in pain, redness, swelling, and inflammation at the affected oral site. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks pain signals from the nerves to the brain. Together, they provide numbing, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory action in oral mucosal pain relief treatment.

Apply a pea-sized amount directly to the ulcer or sore area with a clean fingertip or cotton-tipped applicator. It is usually used 3-4 times daily, often 15-20 minutes before meals and at bedtime, unless advised otherwise by a doctor or dentist. Avoid eating or drinking for a few minutes after application.

If a dose is missed, apply the next dose at the usual time. Do not double the amount. Large accidental ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, dizziness, confusion, breathing issues, metallic taste, fast heartbeat, or nervous-system symptoms. Seek emergency help if a child or adult swallows a significant amount.

Common side effects include temporary burning, stinging, numbness of the mouth, altered taste, rash, itching, or swelling. Avoid Ora-Fast Gel in case of Aspirin, Salicylate, NSAID, Lidocaine, or local anesthetic allergy. Use in children, pregnancy, and breastfeeding only after medical advice. Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and children.

## Safety Advice

Liver Disease

Ora-Fast Gel should be used with caution in people with liver disease, especially if repeated or excessive application is required. Although it acts locally, some amount can be swallowed and absorbed. Inform your doctor if you have chronic liver problems, alcohol-related liver disease, or take multiple medicines before using this gel regularly.

Kidney Impairment

People with kidney impairment should use Ora-Fast Gel only after medical advice if frequent application is required. Choline Salicylate belongs to the NSAID class, and swallowed amounts can add to systemic exposure. Avoid overuse and report promptly to your doctor any swelling, reduced urination, unusual tiredness, or worsening health symptoms.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women should use Ora-Fast Gel only when recommended by a doctor or dentist. Salicylate-containing oral gels should not be overused, especially during pregnancy. Share pregnancy status, breastfeeding routine, current medicines, and history of Aspirin or NSAID sensitivity before applying this gel for mouth ulcers or gum pain.

Avoid

Avoid Ora-Fast Gel if allergic to Choline Salicylate, Aspirin, NSAIDs, Lidocaine, or other local anesthetics. Do not swallow large amounts or apply it too frequently. Avoid use in children unless prescribed, as salicylate-containing oral gels can be unsafe. Also, avoid eating immediately after application because numbness can increase bite injury risk.

## FAQs

## How does this gel relieve mouth ulcer pain?

Ora-Fast Gel relieves mouth ulcer pain through two mechanisms of action. Choline Salicylate reduces inflammation and swelling in the sore area, while Lidocaine temporarily numbs the nerves. This helps reduce burning, pain, and discomfort during speaking, eating, or brushing.

## How often should Ora Fast Gel be applied?

Ora-Fast Gel should be applied as directed by a doctor or dentist. Most oral gels are used in small amounts directly on the sore area, but frequency depends on the condition and age. Do not overapply it or use it continuously without medical advice.

## Can this gel be used for gum pain and irritation?

Yes, Ora-Fast Gel can be used for gum pain, sore gums, denture irritation, and minor oral inflammation when advised. Apply only a thin layer on the affected area. Consult a dentist if gum pain is severe, recurrent, or accompanied by bleeding or infection.

## Are there any side effects of using this gel?

Yes, Ora-Fast Gel can cause mild side effects such as temporary burning, numbness, tingling, redness, altered taste, or local irritation. These usually settle quickly. Stop use and consult a doctor if swelling, rash, breathing difficulty, or severe irritation occurs.

## Is Ora Fast Gel safe for children?

Ora-Fast Gel should not be used in children unless a doctor specifically prescribes it. It contains Choline Salicylate, a salicylate medicine, and Lidocaine, which needs careful dosing in children. Avoid using it for teething pain or repeated mouth irritation without medical advice.

## Can Ora-Fast Gel be swallowed?

No, Ora-Fast Gel should not be intentionally swallowed. A small accidental amount during oral application is usually expected, but swallowing larger amounts can increase side effect risk. Apply a thin layer only on the affected area and avoid eating or drinking immediately afterward.

## Can Ora-Fast Gel be used after dental procedures?

Yes, Ora-Fast Gel can help relieve minor discomfort after dental procedures if recommended by a dentist. It can soothe local pain and irritation, but it should not be used on deep wounds, severe bleeding, or suspected infection unless a dental professional advises it.
