Uses of Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2%-80ml

Chlorhexidine Gluconate mouthwash is primarily used for:

  • Managing gingivitis and controlling plaque accumulation.
  • As part of a professional program for treating periodontal diseases.
  • Promoting oral hygiene after dental surgery to prevent infections.
  • Reducing bacteria during orthodontic treatment.
  • Managing oral thrush and other candidal infections.

How Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2%-80ml Works

Chlorhexidine Gluconate works by binding to oral tissues and tooth surfaces, creating a protective barrier that inhibits plaque formation and the growth of bacteria. It disrupts the cell membrane of bacteria, which leads to cell death, thereby reducing bacterial counts in the mouth and preventing dental plaque that can cause gum disease.

How to Use Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2%-80ml

To use Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2%-80ml effectively:

  1. Use approximately 10ml of the mouthwash, which is typically equivalent to the cap of the bottle.
  2. Rinse the mouth thoroughly for 30 seconds and then spit it out.
  3. Use twice daily or as directed by a healthcare provider.
  4. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after use to maximize the antiseptic effects.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

  • Temporary alteration in taste sensations.
  • Increase in tartar build-up on teeth.
  • Occasional tooth and tongue staining, which is usually reversible with professional dental cleaning.
  • Mild irritation or dryness in the mouth.

Drug Interactions

While Chlorhexidine Gluconate is mainly used locally in the mouth, it is important to avoid using it simultaneously with toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate as it can reduce its effectiveness. Rinse your mouth before applying the mouthwash if you have brushed your teeth.
