Active composition
Chlorhexidine Gluconate disrupts bacterial cell membranes and precipitates cellular components, leading to cell death and inhibition of bacterial growth.
Medical applications
Hexidine Mouth Wash contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2% w/v, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used for the management of oral infections and maintenance of oral hygiene. It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of gingivitis, periodontitis, and other inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity caused by bacterial plaque. Chlorhexidine Gluconate acts by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to cell death and reduction of microbial load.
Hexidine Mouth Wash is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, providing sustained antibacterial activity due to its substantivity on oral mucosa. It is commonly prescribed as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control methods such as toothbrushing and flossing, particularly in patients with compromised oral hygiene or following dental procedures like scaling and root planing.
The recommended usage involves rinsing with 10-15 ml of the solution twice daily, usually after brushing, for a duration specified by the healthcare provider. Patients should avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes post-rinse to maximize efficacy. Hexidine Mouth Wash is generally well tolerated; however, prolonged use may result in tooth staining, altered taste sensation, or mucosal irritation.
Consultation with a dental professional is advised before initiating therapy to ensure appropriate use and monitoring.
How to use Hexidine Mouth Wash Check the label before use. Take the mouthwash in the quantity as advised by your doctor and put it in your mouth. Swish for 30 seconds to 1 minute and spit it. Do not swallow. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes after rinsing.
