About hydrocortisone muco-adhesive tablets

כיבים בפה are painful sores which occur within the mouth. Although many mouth ulcers heal on their own without treatment, hydrocortisone muco-adhesive tablets can help mouth ulcers heal more quickly. They also help to ease the pain. Muco-adhesive buccal tablets are designed to be placed next to the ulcer, and to dissolve slowly in your mouth.

Hydrocortisone muco-adhesive tablets are available on prescription from doctors and dentists, or you can buy them without a prescription at pharmacies. However, if you have any other symptoms in addition to the mouth ulcers, it is important that you speak with a doctor before using the tablets.
