About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lorhex Mouth Wash contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.2% w/v, an effective antiseptic agent widely used in oral healthcare for the prevention and treatment of gingivitis and other periodontal conditions. Chlorhexidine acts by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, thereby reducing the microbial load in the oral cavity and inhibiting plaque formation. Lorhex Mouth Wash is indicated for patients with gingival inflammation, post-dental surgery care, and those requiring adjunctive plaque control when mechanical oral hygiene measures are insufficient. The formulation provides sustained antimicrobial activity, contributing to improved oral hygiene and reduced risk of infection. It is intended for short-term use, typically prescribed for a duration of up to two weeks to minimize potential side effects such as tooth staining or altered taste sensation. Patients should rinse with 10-15 ml of Lorhex Mouth Wash twice daily, preferably after brushing, without swallowing the solution. Caution is advised in individuals with hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine or any excipients. Lorhex Mouth Wash should be used under professional supervision, and not as a substitute for regular dental care and oral hygiene practices. Adherence to recommended usage ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes and oral health maintenance.
