The Anbesol Film Forming Gel is a mucoadhesive gel that forms a mechanical barrier on the oral mucosal surface to provide fast and temporary discomfort management from canker sores and mouth lesions. This 3.5 ML variant is designed for adults and older children who need targeted protection and relief from oral discomfort.
Key benefits
- Fast, temporary relief from oral pain by creating a protective film over affected areas.
- Mucoadhesive technology helps the gel adhere to the oral mucosa for sustained coverage.
- Designed for multiple daily applications with dosing options for adults and children (see usage directions).
- Contains natural and synthetic polymers that support film formation and barrier protection.
- Easy to apply with an applicator that helps place gel precisely on the affected area.
Ingredients and how they help you
- Maltodextrin (maize) 5% — a carbohydrate polymer that contributes to the gel matrix, helping form a protective film on contact.
- Arabinogalactan (larch tree) 1% — a plant-based polymer that supports mucoadhesion and barrier integrity for longer-lasting coverage.
- Ammonium glycyrrhizinate (glycyrrhiza glabra) 0.1% — a sweet-tasting licorice-derived compound that helps stabilize the film and may contribute to soothing the surface.
- Non-medicinal ingredients — water, synthetic and natural polymers, adhesive polysaccharides of the larch tree, laureth-9, preservatives, mint flavour; together these components create and maintain the protective layer while providing a pleasant taste.
Usage guidance and safety
- This product is for topical oral use only. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any ingredient. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, consult a doctor. Store at 15-30°C (room temperature).

- First use: twist the bottom of the applicator until all air is expelled and product appears. Cover the affected area with the gel. Drying the surface before application enhances adhesion.
