kanka gel

Kanka Gel lists benzocaine 20% as the primary local anesthetic. One formulation also includes zinc chloride 0.1% as an oral astringent.

Kanka Gel is offered with different applicators, including an ultra-soft brush tip (brush-tipped pen) for targeted application and control-tip or integrated honeycomb-style applicators for mess-free delivery.

Kanka Gel is indicated for temporary relief of canker sores, tooth and gum discomfort, and other minor mouth sores and irritation, including irritation from dentures or orthodontic appliances.

The liquid formula contains a film-forming agent that helps hold the medication in place and forms a protective barrier around the sore for longer-lasting relief.

Product details list a suggested age of 2 years and up and include a warning that Kanka Gel is not for children under two years of age.

Kanka Gel is offered in original (flavored) and unflavored options. One description notes the gel has a pleasant taste without a sting.
