Metrohex Plus Gel is prescribed for the effective management of painful mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers are small but painful sores that can affect the lips, gums, tongue, inner cheeks, or roof of the mouth, often causing difficulty in eating, drinking, or speaking.
This gel works by forming a protective coating over the ulcer surface while also blocking pain signals to reduce discomfort. In addition, it contains antimicrobial agents that help eliminate harmful bacteria and prevent secondary infections, thereby promoting faster healing.
Metrohex Plus Gel should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Applying more than the recommended amount or using it more frequently will not speed up healing and may increase the risk of side effects.
Some users may experience mild and temporary side effects such as a burning or stinging sensation at the application site, dryness of the mouth, metallic taste, nausea, or tooth staining. These usually resolve with continued use. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Metrohex Plus Gel is a combination of three medicines:
-
Lidocaine – a local anesthetic that forms a protective layer and blocks pain signals

Metronidazole – an antibiotic that kills bacteria by damaging their DNA
Together, they relieve pain, control infection, and promote healing.
