I bought an oral aid for my ulcers. I didn't check it until i got home (big big mistake) it says

"Patients with tuberculotic, viral or other purulent infections of the oral cavity."

I'm cured from TB 14 years ago.. can I use this gel for my mouth?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Osinsun06,

My understanding of this would be that you are safe to use the gel as you do not have an active TB infection. Please double check with a pharmacist though, as this forum is not staffed by trained medical professionals.

Best wishes,

Helen
