Medicine Description corega
Corega Tablets is a medication specifically formulated for the cleaning and maintenance of dentures. The effervescent action of the tablets occurs when they dissolve in water, leading to a release of carbon dioxide that aids in the mechanical removal of debris. Citric acid serves as a mild acid that can help dissolve mineral deposits and stains. Dimethicone acts as a surfactant, reducing surface tension and allowing better penetration of the cleaning solution into crevices of the dentures. Sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate contribute to the alkaline environment that enhances cleaning efficacy and neutralizes odors. Sodium benzoate functions as a preservative, ensuring the stability of the formulation while also further aiding the reduction of microbial presence, thus improving denture hygiene.
