Allergy or Hypersensitivity

If you develop swelling on the lips, tongue, face, or throat, or have difficulty breathing after applying this gel, stop using it and seek medical attention. Choline salicylate can rarely cause hypersensitivity reactions. 

Aspirin or salicylate allergy

If you are allergic to aspirin or other salicylates, tell your doctor or pharmacist before using this gel. Choline salicylate is a salicylate and may cause a reaction in sensitive people. 

Overuse

If you apply the gel more often or in larger amounts than recommended, tell your doctor or pharmacist. Excessive use of choline salicylate oral gels can increase salicylate absorption.

Persistent mouth ulcers

If the mouth ulcer or sore does not improve with treatment, keeps coming back, or becomes worse, consult your doctor or dentist rather than continuing to use the gel repeatedly.
