Astringent Gum Paint: Gumric Astringent Gum Paint is a category of drugs known as ‘antiseptics’ generally prescribed to cure gum-related issues such as inflamed, bleeding, spongy, or loose gums. Apart from this, Gumric Astringent Gum Paint is prescribed to cure mouth ulcers, pyorrhoea (severe infection of gums that destroys jawbone and loosens teeth), gingivitis (inflammation of gums), or Vincent’s disease (filthy grey ulceration of the mucus membranes).
Gumric Astringent Gum Paint is a mixture of three medications, i.e., Tannic acid (astringent), Zinc chloride (hemostatic agent and astringent), and Cetrimide (antiseptic). Tannic acid is an astringent and protein that assists in contracting skin cells, hence healing and soothing the irritation caused by mouth ulcers. Zinc chloride is a hemostatic agent with astringent action that arrests bleeding and makes skin tough. Cetrimide is an antibacterial that inhibits the growth of microbes (bacteria) that may infect damaged mouth skin.
