Description
What is Corsodyl Mouthwash Alcohol Free Mint?
Corsodyl Mouthwash Alcohol Free Mint is a medicated oral solution containing chlorhexidine digluconate 0.2% w/v, clinically used for the management of gum disease and oral infections. It works by targeting plaque bacteria, the main cause of gum problems, and provides intensive short-term treatment when routine oral hygiene is not enough.
Because it is alcohol free, it is suitable for people who prefer or require a non-alcohol formulation, while still delivering the full therapeutic effect of chlorhexidine.
Who is it suitable for?
- People requiring short-term intensive treatment for gum problems
- Individuals with bleeding gums, swollen gums, inflamed gums, or mouth ulcers
- Those needing post-dental surgery or post-dental treatment care
