Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash is a medicated mouthwash, designed to treat and prevent gum disease, promote gum healing, control mouth ulcers, maintain mouth hygiene and manage oral thrush and denture sore mouth.
Corsodyl contains chlorhexidine digluconate, an antibacterial agent to help reduce the formation of plaque. Plaque builds up on your teeth as a result of bacterial growth; Corsodyl is a short-term intensive treatment, that can strip away plaque-casuing bacterial, leaving your teeth clean, fresh and protected.
As with all medications, some users may experience side effects when using Corsodyl Original Alcohol Free Mouthwash 300ml – however, most will not.
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.
Other side effects that may occur:
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. You can clean your dentures with 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.
