Iglu Rapid Relief Gel is a highly specialized oral treatment specifically engineered to provide long-lasting protection and pain relief for mouth ulcers and sores. Unlike standard liquid or thin gels, Iglu utilizes a unique triple-action bio-adhesive technology. It works by forming a robust, water-resistant physical barrier over the ulcer that stays in place even while eating or drinking. This "patch-like" film locks in the active painkillers (Lidocaine and Aminoacridine) to provide continuous numbing and antiseptic action while protecting the sensitive nerve endings from irritation.

Iglu is a primary clinical choice for managing painful "breaks" in the lining of the mouth:
Common Mouth Ulcers: Providing instant numbing for stinging aphthous ulcers.
Sore Gums: Relieving localized gum pain caused by trauma or infection.
Denture Rubbing: Protecting the "raw" spots caused by friction from dental prosthetics.
Brace Irritation: Creating a cushion between sharp orthodontic wires and the inner cheek.
Small Oral Wounds: Acting as a "liquid bandage" for minor accidental bites or burns.
Age Restriction: Do not use Iglu on children under 7 years old. Lidocaine Sensitivity: Avoid use if you have a known allergy to "caine-type" local anesthetics. Severe Infections: If the mouth sore is accompanied by a high fever, headache, or nausea, consult a doctor immediately, as it may be a systemic infection. Choking Hazard: Because it forms a thick, sticky layer, do not apply large amounts to the back of the throat. Pregnancy & Nursing: Consult your healthcare provider before use; however, localized topical use is generally considered low-risk.
For Iglu to work effectively, it must be applied correctly to form its signature protective shield.
Standard Dosage:
Adults and Children 7+: Apply a small amount of gel to the affected area.
Frequency: Use as needed, especially before meals or at bedtime.
Application Tips:
Dry the Area: Use a clean tissue or cotton bud to gently "dab" the ulcer dry before applying the gel. This helps the adhesive bond to the tissue.
Wipe, Don't Rub: Use a clean finger or cotton bud to apply the gel in a single wiping motion. Do not massage it in.
The "Setting" Phase: Within seconds of contact with saliva, the gel will thicken into a white, flexible "skin."
Tingling: You may feel a brief stinging sensation for a few seconds before the Lidocaine numbs the area.
Common side effects are minimal and typically limited to a brief stinging sensation upon application. Some users may dislike the "grainy" or thick texture of the gel as it sets. In rare cases, a localized allergic reaction (swelling or redness) may occur. If you experience difficulty breathing or a swollen tongue, seek emergency medical care.
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent the adhesive from hardening inside the tube. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Can I "Eat" after applying Iglu?
A: Yes! That is the primary benefit of Iglu. The gel is designed to be water-resistant, so the ulcer remains protected even while you consume food and drink.
Q: Why does it turn "White"?
A: The white color is a sign that the bio-adhesive has reacted with your saliva to form the protective "patch." This is normal and expected.
Q: Is it better than "Bonjela"?
A: While both are effective, Iglu is often preferred for ulcers that are in "high-friction" areas (like the tip of the tongue or the inner lip) because its adhesive stays on longer than standard gels.
Q: How long does one application last?
A: Depending on the location of the ulcer and your saliva flow, one application can provide protection for 1 to 3 hours.
