Chlorhexidine mouthwash can remove odour from your mouth and leave it feeling fresh. The active ingredient is chlorhexidine digluconate, which has antimicrobial properties that help get rid of bad breath.
When bacteria builds up in your mouth, it can lead to gum problems and halitosis. Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath. Although having bad breath isn't always a medical concern, it can be embarrassing, affect your self-esteem or indicate a broader health problem.
How does Chlorhexidine Mouthwash work?
Chlorhexidine has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, viruses and fungi. This means it can kill or stop the growth of microorganisms. The active ingredient, chlorhexidine digluconate, is a positively charged molecule. This attracts the negatively charged bacteria, resulting in the cell wall of the bacteria being damaged. This kills and stops the growth of bacteria. Chlorhexidine can also cling to teeth and mucous membranes for up to 12 hours.

What are the side effects of Chlorhexidine Mouthwash?

As with all medicines, Chlorhexidine Mouthwash can cause side effects for some people, though they tend to subside over time. Common side effects include:
dry mouth;
mild burning or tingling sensation in the mouth;
change of tongue colour; and:
stained teeth.
And here are some serious side effects to look out for:
swelling of the face, lip, tongue or throat;
red, itchy skin;
wheezing;
difficulty breathing;
feel faint or dizzy; and:
peeling in the inside of the mouth.
If you experience any of these serious side effects go to your nearest A&E immediately, as these can be signs of an allergic reaction.
What versions of Chlorhexidine Mouthwash are there?
Answer:
Corsodyl Chlorhexidine mouthwash is the branded version of Chlorhexidine mouthwash. It has the same active ingredient and works in a similar way. Which one you choose is your choice, but the generic version is often cheaper.
How effective is Chlorhexidine Mouthwash?
Answer:
Many studies have shown that using Chlorhexidine mouthwash continuously for two weeks reduced plaque significantly. The studies showed a 50-60% decrease in plaque build-up over time.
