Product Description:
- Hexidine Mouth Wash is an antiseptic that binds strongly to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks, and gums.
- It works by killing the harmful microorganisms that cause swollen gums, tartar, bad odor from the mouth, and other mouth infections.
Mode of action:
- Bacterial plaque produces irritants, which cause gingivitis and periodontitis, ultimately leading to the loss of teeth.
- Chemical control of plaque is achieved effectively with Hexidine.
- As an antimicrobial, Hexidine prevents secondary infections arising out of poor oral hygiene.
It is particularly useful in plaque control for:
- Bed-ridden patients following surgery or in the ICU.
- Respiratory tract infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, post-tonsillectomy surgery, preventing complications of pregnancy gingivitis and bacterial endocarditis.
- Preventing dental caries.
- Hexidine begins its microbicidal effect in 15 seconds after contact and its bacteriostatic action lasts for 12 hours.
How to use:
- For treatment and prevention, swish in the mouth for one minute.
- Do not rinse your mouth, eat, or drink thereafter for 20 minutes.
- For prolonged use, take a 1:1 dilution of Hexidine with plain water.
- Recommended only under professional guidance.
- Dose: 10 ml, twice a day.
