Anbesol Teething Gel - 10g

Anbesol Teething Gel is a topical oral gel formulated to provide temporary relief from the discomfort associated with teething in infants and young children.

It contains the active ingredient lidocaine hydrochloride, which acts as a local anaesthetic to numb the affected area in the infant's gums and alleviate teething pain.

• Apply a pea-sized blob of gel (see circle shown here), to a clean fingertip
  and spread gently onto the affected area.

• Do not use more than 6 times in one day (24-hour period).
  
• Stop treatment when your child’s symptoms settle.
• Do not use for more than 7 days for each teething episode.
  
• If your child’s symptoms worsen, do not improve after 7 days of treatment or you are concerned that your child is unwell, talk to a health care professional.

  product immediately. Wait 3 hours before using the medicine again.
