Himalaya Wellness Launches HiOra- D Toothpaste for Diabetics

Himalaya Wellness Company, one of India's leading wellness companies, has announced to launch HiOra-D toothpaste for diabetics.

Oral care is essential for individuals with diabetes, as they are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop oral health issues compared to those without diabetes¹. HiOra-D toothpaste for diabetics is a medicated dentifrice for promoting comprehensive oral health in diabetics. Its key clinical applications include routine oral care in diabetic individuals, Xerostomia or dry mouth in diabetic individuals, periodontitis, and gingivitis, halitosis (bad breath).

More than 90% of diabetic patients suffer from oral complications, including periodontal disease, dental caries, salivary gland dysfunction, taste disorders, and delayed wound healing. Periodontal disease has a bidirectional relationship with diabetes and contributes to increased blood glucose levels². People with diabetes need scientifically designed toothpaste to help manage blood sugar levels and oral health while reducing salivary glucose and balancing pH levels.

Dr. Srikanth, Associate General Manager, Scientific Services at Himalaya Wellness said “HiOra-D is infused with time tested herbal ingredients and offers Hi-5 key pharmacological actions, including sialagogue, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, astringent, and refreshing effects. At Himalaya Wellness, we believe true happiness begins with health. For over 9 decades, Himalaya has been dedicated to creating scientifically backed herbal solutions rooted in nature’s healing power. HiOra-D will provide a complete and effective solution for diabetic individuals providing overall oral health- free from complications”.
