Anbesol 0.02%/0.1%/1% Teething Gel (10g)

Anbesol Teething Ge is a topical oral gel designed to provide fast, temporary relief from teething pain and discomfort in babies and young children. It works by numbing the gums to soothe soreness and irritation caused by emerging teeth. Anbesol contains a mild local anaesthetic called lidocaine hydrochloride for quick-acting and effective relief of pain caused by babies’ teething, and two antiseptics called chlorocresol and cetylpyridinium chloride.  When applied, it reduces pain signals, helping to calm discomfort and ease fussiness associated with teething.
