Important Information

What is Calgel Teething Gel?
Calgel Teething Gel is a specially formulated treatment to relieve pain and discomfort in babies during the teething phase. It combines a mild anaesthetic with antiseptic properties to soothe sore gums while helping to protect against infection. Suitable for babies aged 5 months and above, it provides targeted relief for tender gums.
How does Calgel Teething Gel work?
Calgel Teething Gel contains two key ingredients that help with teething discomfort:
- Lidocaine Hydrochloride (0.33%): A local anaesthetic that helps to numb the gums, providing fast relief from pain.
- Cetylpyridinium Chloride (0.1%): An antiseptic that helps protect the gums from infection during the teething process.
This combination of ingredients ensures that your baby experiences quick pain relief while the gel works to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Apply a small amount of Calgel Teething Gel directly to the sore area of your baby's gums using a clean finger. Gently massage the gel into the gums. Repeat every 3 hours if needed, but no more than 6 times within 24 hours.
While Calgel Teething Gel is generally safe, some babies may experience side effects such as:
- Mild irritation or swelling of the gums
- Numbness in the mouth, lips, or tongue
- Rare allergic reactions like a rash
If you notice any severe reactions, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
- Safe and easy to use: The gel is sugar-free, which is ideal for growing teeth, and it can be applied up to six times daily.
- Fast-acting relief: The gel works almost instantly to soothe your baby’s sore gums, providing much-needed relief from teething pain.
- Trusted brand: Calgel Teething Gel is from the makers of Calpol, a brand parents trust for pain relief.
