Medical Overview
Bonjela Gel is listed as Dental containing Choline Salicylate + Cetylkonium Chloride. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Bonjela (choline salicylate/cetalkonium) — Britain’s veteran mouth-ulcer gel: local anti-inflammatory pain relief plus mild antisepsis. Its critical unknown rule: NOT under 16 (salicylate — Reye’s precaution, UK-restricted 2009; Junior variant differs entirely). Recurrent monthly ulcers or any ulcer unhealed at 2 weeks (especially smokers) demands examination, not more gel.
