Hi dr.amey ,

Folli plus tablets are multivitamin supplements, with all the vitamins of group A,B,C ,E ..lysin,biotin and all.

It is a general health supplement and should not cause any harm or allergy to the oral tissues , instead we use multivitamin supplement to treat the inflammed oral tissues and ulceration as they play important role in tissue repair and healing.

As you said your patient is suffering from asthma and not using the inhalers, i think you should examine patients breathing habits. Asthamatic patients often have mouth breathing habit, which in turn leads to xerostomia.

dryness of the mouth or xerostomia often invites oral problems like you mentioned in your patient inflammation of gums and sore throat. so i suspect it is a secondary cause of breathing habits.

you can go for clinical evaluation and guide the patient accordingly. For high Blood pressure, antihypertensives can be taken under a physician supervision.

i hope this answers your query. thank you.
