Corsodyl Treatment Mouthwash. Designed as a short term treatment for gingivitis, bleeding, red or swollen gums
Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash contains 0.2% of the active ingredient chlorhexidine digluconate. This works to kill the plaque bacteria which can irritate the gums and cause gum disease.
The active ingredient, chlorhexidine digluconate acts rapidly, to kill the bacteria that causes plaque within 30 seconds. It also creates a protective antibacterial layer over your gums and teeth, which continues to repel bacteria for up to 12 hours after use, helping to keep your mouth clean and supporting the healing of your gums.
Cautions
With prolonged use, Corsodyl 0.2% w/v Mouthwash may cause temporary staining of the teeth. You can reduce the risk of staining by avoiding eating or drinking dark coloured food and drinks such as tea, coffee or red wine – especially up to one hour use of the mouthwash and by twice daily brushing with toothpaste. If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
Children under 12 years of age should not use the product unless recommended by a dentist.
