What Corsodyl Mouthwash Is And What It Is Used For
Corsodyl Mouthwash is an antibacterial solution which inhibits the formation of dental plague. It is indicated as an aid in the treatment and prevention of gingivitis. The maintenance of oral hygiene, particularly in situations where toothbrushing cannot be adequately employed (e.g. following periodontal and other oral surgery or in mentally or physically handicapped patients). It reduces the duration and severity of both aphthous ulceration and oral ulcers caused by mechanical or chemical injuries e.g. orthodontic appliances. It aids in management of recurrent oral infections.
Dosage
Thoroughly rinse the mouth for about one minute, with 10 ml twice daily. For the treatment of gingivitis, a course of about a month is advisable, although some variation in response is to be expected. In the case of oral candidal infections, treatment should be continued 48 hours after clinical resolution. For the treatment of denture stomatitis, the dentures should be cleased and soaked in the solution for 15 minutes twice daily.
How To Take
Follow your doctor's instructions if this medicine was prescribed. If you are treating yourself then follow the instructions on the label. Do not exceed the stated dose. Corsodyl Mouthwash should be used after you have brushed your teeth. Rinse the toothpaste completely from your mouth with water before using the Corsodyl Mouthwash. The measuring cap on the bottle holds 10 ml when filled to the line. For normal use, swish 10 ml of Corsodyl Mouthwash around the mouth for about one minute and then spit out. Do not swallow the medicine. This should be done twice a day. Replace cap after use. For the treatment of gingivitis, continue treatment for about one month. For the treatment of oral candidal (thrush) infections, continue treatment for 2 days after your symptoms have disappeared.
