Karigel-N Dent Side Effects

Mouth/gum irritation may infrequently occur. If this effect persists or worsens, contact your doctor/dentist or pharmacist promptly.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor/dentist or pharmacist.
