How it works
Dologel-CT Gel is a combination of Choline Salicylate, Lidocaine, and Benzalkonium Chloride. Choline salicylate stops the release of chemicals called prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Lidocaine stops the transfer of pain signals to the brain thereby reducing pain. Benzalkonium chloride kills germs and reduces the risk of bacterial infection. Hence, the combination is effective to treat ulcers or sores.
