About Anbesol Liquid

Anbesol liquid is used to relieve pain and discomfort from mouth ulcers, teething and denture irritation. It does this by using a local anaesthetic that stops the sensation of pain and chlorocresol and cetylpyridinium chloride to kill bacteria.

For teething pain relief, it can be used in children 5 months of age once non-medicinal methods such as teething rings and massaging the gums cannot provide enough oral pain relief.

For adults, it may be used for quick, short-acting relief from recurrent mouth ulcers and denture irritation.

Anbesol Liquid Side effects

Anbesol is a generally well-tolerated medicine with few side effects. As with all medicines, side effects are possible but will not be experienced by everyone. They may include allergic reactions resulting in difficulty breathing, dermatitis, or itch. Please note, while rare, you must seek out medical assistance if you experience an allergic reaction.

Before taking any medicine you should please read the patient information leaflet.
