Corsodyl Alcohol-free Mouthwash Original Chlorhexidine 0.2% 300ml

Product Information

Specially designed to help combat gum disease (gingivitis), Corsodyl Mouthwash (Alcohol-Free) contains an antibacterial agent that reduces the formation of dental plaque, as well as promoting good mouth hygiene. Corsodyl can also be used to manage oral thrush and denture-sore mouth.

How to use

Use twice a day and fill the cap to 10 ml. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with Corsodyl for 1 minute and spit out.

Do not use immediately after brushing your teeth.

• For gum disease: A one-month course is recommended. Your dentist may advise you differently depending on your condition.
• For mouth ulcers or oral thrush: Continue to use for two days after healing has occurred.
• For denture sore mouth: Clean and soak your dentures in Corsodyl Treatment Mouthwash for 15 minutes twice a day.

After dental surgery: Rinse as directed by your dentist. If your symptoms persist, see your dentist.

Warnings or restrictions

Some possible side effects:

• Temporary staining of the tongue. This disappears when treatment is stopped.
• Temporary staining of the teeth. This can normally be removed by brushing.
• You can avoid staining by not drinking tea, coffee or red wine – especially one hour after use – and by brushing daily with toothpaste.
• If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale & polish from your dentist or hygienist.
• For dentures, you can clean with a denture cleaner.
• You may notice a change of taste or burning sensation when you first use the mouthwash. This usually goes away with continued use.
• If peeling of the skin inside the mouth occurs, dilute Corsodyl with an equal amount of water.

Do not use:

• if you have ever had an allergic reaction to chlorhexidine digluconate or any of the other ingredients
• in children under 12 years unless recommended by a dentist.
• anywhere other than in your mouth. Wash thoroughly if you get any in your eyes or ears.

Other cautions

Macrogoglycerol Hydroxystearate may cause skin reactions.

Stop using the mouthwash and seek immediate medical help if you get a rash, swelling of the lips, tongue, throat or face, or have difficulty breathing.

These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, which is very rare.

Stop using the mouthwash and tell your dentist if you get irritation of the mouth, soreness or swelling of the inside of the cheeks.

These effects should go away when treatment is stopped.

Taking other medicines

Corsodyl Mouthwash is unlikely to affect other medications. However, please speak with your pharmacist or doctor if you are using any other medicines for treating the mouth and throat.
