Corsodyl Mouthwash Mint 300ml

When your gums aren't healthy, it can affect your entire oral health. Corsodyl treatment mouthwashes contain 0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine Digluconate, a powerful antibacterial ingredient that actively helps combat the plaque bacteria causing gum irritation.

How Chlorhexidine Digluconate Works

The active ingredient, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, provides a dual action:

• Fights Plaque Bacteria: It attacks and helps kill the plaque bacteria responsible for gum disease and other oral issues.
• Long-lasting Protection: It forms a protective layer over your teeth and gums, working for up to 12 hours to help prevent new plaque from forming.

This makes Corsodyl Mint Mouthwash particularly useful for various conditions beyond initial gum disease, including:

• Helping to manage mouth ulcers
• Alleviating denture sore mouth
• Treating oral thrush
• Promoting gum healing after dental surgery or treatment
• Maintaining overall mouth hygiene when brushing is difficult.

Weldricks Pharmacy offers Corsodyl Mint Mouthwash 300ml to help you confidently manage your everyday oral health. With our trusted service, you can easily get the professional care you need.

After brushing in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water. Follow this by rinsing the mouth with 10ml of mouthwash for about one minute.

Do not use in children under 12 years unless recommended by a dentist.

Gum disease

Corsodyl can be used for up to 30 days, depending on the severity of your condition.

For the early signs of gum disease (e.g., bleeding/swollen gums), in combination with regular flossing and brushing, a 5-7 day course of Corsodyl can help kick-start recovery.

If you are unsure of how long to use it for, please consult your dentist or pharmacist.

Mouth ulcers and oral thrush

Continue to use for 2 days after healing has occurred.

Denture sore mouth

Dentures should also be cleaned and soaked in the mouthwash for 15 minutes twice daily.

Dental surgery or treatment

Rinse as directed by your dentist.

PLEASE READ ALL PRODUCT PACKAGING AND LABELS PRIOR TO USE

Because chlorhexidine forms a protective layer across the teeth and gums to help prevent new plaque from forming, some temporary discolouration can occur on the teeth and tongue.

• In the majority of cases this can be removed by brushing, and will disappear once the treatment has stopped.
• Discolouration usually occurs when certain foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine are consumed within an hour of using the mouthwash.
• Other sources such as beer and cigarettes can also cause staining but are not specifically associated with chlorhexidine digluconate in Corsodyl.

Important Cautions

• 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.
• Immediately after brushing your teeth: Toothpastes can stop Corsodyl working. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and wait 5 minutes after brushing your teeth before using Corsodyl. You can also use the mouthwash at a different time of day.
• Stop using the mouthwash and seek immediate help if you get a serious allergic reaction (rash, swelling of the lips, tongue, throat or face, or difficulty breathing). These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which is very rare.
• Temporary staining of the teeth and tongue may occur. This normally disappears when treatment is stopped. If staining continues, it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
• You may notice a change in taste, burning sensation, tingling, or numbness of the mouth 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 bleach fabrics that have been in contact with the mouthwash.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: You can use Corsodyl if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Contains alcohol: If swallowed by a child seek medical help.
• Do not swallow and do not use more mouthwash than the label tells you to.
