Moko Glycerine Borax Mouthwash & Oral Paint

Moko Glycerine Borax is a highly effective pharmaceutical solution used for treating minor oral conditions. Manufactured by New HealthWay Company Limited, this staple of Nigerian households combines the antiseptic power of Borax with the soothing, moisturizing properties of Glycerin.

What is Moko Glycerine Borax Used For?

Moko Glycerine Borax (Glycerine of Borax BP) is primarily used as a mild antiseptic and protective lubricant for the oral cavity. It is widely recommended in Nigeria for:

• Mouth Ulcers (Thrush): Provides fast relief from the pain of small sores and helps them heal quicker.
• Oral Thrush in Babies: Effectively cleans milk residue and treats fungal infections on infants' tongues and gums.
• Oral Inflammation: Soothes sore gums (stomatitis) and an inflamed tongue (glossitis).
• Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Acts as a humectant to keep the mouth moist and comfortable.

How to Use Moko Glycerine Borax for Babies and Adults

For the best results, follow these application steps:

1. As a Mouth Paint: Dip a clean cotton bud or wrap a soft, clean cloth around your finger and dip it into the solution. Gently apply to the affected areas of the mouth, tongue, or gums. This is the preferred method for treating infants.
2. As a Mouthwash: Adults can use it as a gargle or rinse to reach areas in the back of the throat.
3. Important: Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the medication to work effectively.
