Biosore Gel 10gm might have the following side effects:

A temporary stinging or burning sensation at the place you apply it.
Numbness of the tongue or mouth: This is due to the anesthetic effect of one of the ingredients, lidocaine. You might feel a loss of sensation in the area where you've used the gel.
Itching
Rash
Swelling

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Biosore Gel 10gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of tips on managing common side effects:

Temporary stinging or burning sensation: You could try applying a smaller amount initially to see if this reduces the intensity of the feeling.
Numbness of tongue or mouth: To prevent accidental biting due to numbness, avoid eating hard foods immediately after applying Biosore Gel 10gm.

Biosore Gel 10gm works through the combined action of its three active ingredients:

Choline Salicylate (8.7%): As an NSAID, choline salicylate blocks the production of prostaglandins – chemicals in your body that cause inflammation, pain and fever. By doing this, it reduces redness, swelling and discomfort associated with the lesion.
Benzalkonium Chloride (0.01%): This component is a cationic surfactant that acts as a bactericidal and fungicidal preservative. It disrupts the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to leakage of cellular contents and cell death, which helps prevent secondary bacterial or fungal infections at the ulcer site.
Lidocaine (2%): This local anaesthetic works by blocking sodium channels in the neuronal membrane. This stabilises the membrane potential and inhibits pain signal transmission from the site of application, providing a prompt numbing effect for pain relief.
