Metrohex Gel is a dental gel that combines Metronidazole (1%) and Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.25%), used for the treatment of gum infections, gingivitis, and oral ulcers. Metronidazole is an antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent, while Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic that prevents plaque buildup and fights infection-causing microbes in the mouth.
