    Trying to help out my sister, my normally calm and placid nephew is having a torrid time teething. Teetha, bonjela not working. Friend told her about Calgel and said it was a lifesaver. Have anecdotally heard of it being available in Dublin now but does anyone know where?

    Many thanks!

    I dont think Calgel is licensed for sale in Ireland. It has come in on deliveries where I work and it has to be destroyed immediately .

    I get my medicines online and deliveries through parcel motel.

    Indeed, both Calgel and Dentinox aren't available in Ireland for some bizarre reason. I buy a few at a time from various UK pharmacies, direct to my house, no problems.

    I got dentinox definitely in Dublin - can't remember where - either Boots or Tesco I think.

    Always got Calgel when I was in London.

    Is that Dentinox teething gel though? The toothpaste is available here but that's clove-based, not pharmaceutical.

    I do not think lidocaine products are sold here over the counter at all, In other countries it is in aftersun and creams for sun burn and it works really well.

    No, I got this in the UK, great stuff. Lasts about 30 mins and I use way less than bongella.
