Description

Oragel-M oral gel is indicated for the treatment of oral and gastrointestinal candidiasis, eradication of fungal colonization, and treatment of super infections due to gram-positive bacteria.

The product has interactions with other medications and contraindications for patients with known hypersensitivity. It may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and allergic reactions.
