Bonjela

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bonjela is an oral gel, aimed to cure mouth ulcers and denture sores and relieve the pain associated with these ailments. The Bonjela gel contains ethanol, glycerol, menthol, choline salicylate, cetalkonium chloride, hyperomellose 4500, anise oil and sodium saccharin intended to kill bacteria around the sore. The choline salicylate, a derivative of aspirin, provides pain relief.

Bonjela is distributed by Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd and is a registered trademark. It is available in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Australia, along with a mint-flavoured variation called Bonjela Cool.

Bonjela can be bought in Hong Kong and some Asian cities too. But the amount is limited.

Some also use it beyond its intended usage to ease the pain of eyebrow plucking, teething and the pain experienced with the emergence of wisdom teeth.^{[citation needed]}
