Ai Pharma Ulcegel

Ai Pharma Ulcegel is a topical oral gel manufactured by AiPharma Healthcare Sdn Bhd and registered in Malaysia as a medical device rather than a medicine, since its formulation contains no pharmacologically active drug substance. It is supplied as a 10ml tube with an applicator intended for direct application to the oral mucosa.

The gel’s formulation is built around hyaluronic acid and aloe vera gel as its principal functional ingredients, combined with a base of purified water, propylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, corn maltodextrin, xanthan gum, and mentha arvensis (corn mint) essential oil, along with preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, disodium EDTA) and a sweetener (saccharin sodium dihydrate). This composition is notably different from drug-based oral or gastric products that share similar brand names in some other markets, so the specific ingredient list on the Malaysian AiPharma product packaging should always be treated as the reference for this item.

Ai Pharma Ulcegel is sold over the counter in Malaysian pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription, and its applicator-tube format is intended for localised application to a small area of the oral mucosa rather than for swallowing as a drink or oral suspension. Consumers should check the product packaging to confirm the batch number and expiry date, and should not confuse this oral mucosal gel with unrelated products that share a similar generic brand name but a completely different composition in other countries.

• Adults and children above 2 years old: apply 1-2 drops of the gel directly to the affected area inside the mouth using the applicator.
• Use 3-4 times daily, or as needed, or as directed by a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist.
• Avoid touching the applied area with your tongue for at least 2 minutes after application, to allow the gel to form a film.
• Avoid eating or drinking for at least 1 hour after application, as advised on the product label.
• Avoid direct contact between the applicator tip and the inside of the mouth to prevent contamination of the tube.

Ai Pharma Ulcegel does not have a drug dose in the conventional sense, as it contains no pharmacologically active ingredient; usage is instead expressed as an application frequency. The manufacturer’s guidance for adults and children above 2 years old is to apply 1-2 drops of the gel to the affected area of the oral mucosa, 3-4 times daily or as needed. Use in children aged 2 to 12 years should be carried out with adult supervision, and the product should not be used in children under 2 years old. If irritation or discomfort does not improve after several days of use, stop self-treating and consult a doctor or dentist.

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed after each use, and keep out of reach of children.

• Common: A mild, transient tingling or cooling sensation may be felt at the site of application, particularly from the corn mint essential oil component.
• Serious: A hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to one of the gel’s ingredients (such as increased irritation, swelling, or rash) is uncommon; stop using the product and seek medical or dental advice if this occurs.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, corn mint (mentha arvensis) oil, or any other ingredient listed on the packaging.
• Not for use in children under 2 years old.
• Not for use outside the mouth or on broken skin elsewhere on the body; this product is intended for the oral mucosa only.

• Not applicable in the drug-interaction sense, as this product contains no pharmacologically active drug ingredient and acts only locally on the surface of the oral mucosa.
• Avoid eating or drinking for at least 1 hour after application, as advised on the product label.

• Dry the affected area gently before applying the gel, if possible, for better contact with the mucosal surface.
• Avoid touching the area with your tongue for a couple of minutes after application.
• Keep the applicator tip clean and avoid letting it touch the inside of the mouth directly.
• Close the cap tightly after each use to prevent contamination and drying out of the gel.
• Check the expiry date on the tube before each use.
• Keep the product out of reach of young children.

Precautions: For oral use only; do not apply this gel to any other part of the body. Sharing the tube or applicator between different users is not recommended, as this may spread infection. Use in children aged 2 to 12 years should be supervised by an adult. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can generally use topical oral gels such as this one as directed, but should check the full ingredient list with a pharmacist or dentist if they have known sensitivities.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Consult a doctor or dentist if oral discomfort persists, recurs frequently, or is accompanied by fever, difficulty swallowing, or widespread mouth sores, as these may need further assessment beyond self-care.
