Frequently asked questions

Chlorhexidine Gluconate should be used as needed, typically twice daily. Rinse the mouth thoroughly with 10 ml of the mouthwash for about 1 minute, then expel it from your mouth.
The duration of Chlorhexidine Gluconate use varies by condition; for gingivitis, it may be used for a month, while for mouth ulcers and thrush, use may continue until 2 days after symptoms resolve.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate may cause staining of teeth and tongue in some individuals, though this staining is not permanent and typically resolves after discontinuation. Prevent staining by brushing with regular toothpaste before use and avoiding tannin-rich foods and beverages.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate can effectively reduce bad breath for up to 3 hours, but users should be aware of potential tooth staining and taste alteration. Use it judiciously.
Avoid using toothpaste immediately after the mouthwash, as it may interfere with its effectiveness; use toothpaste before or at a different time. Always rinse your mouth before using the mouthwash.
