EACH 5 ML CONTAINS: CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE SOLUTION I.P.DILUTED TO CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE 0.2% W/V PURIFIED WATER I.P. Q.S.
Chlorhexidine is used in disinfectants (disinfection of the skin and hands), cosmetics (additive to creams,
toothpaste,deodorants, and antiperspirants), and pharmaceutical products (preservative in eye drops, active
substance in wound dressings and antiseptic mouthwashes). At physiologic pH, chlorhexidine salts dissociate and
release the positively charged chlorhexidine cation. The bactericidal effect is a result of the binding of this
cationic molecule to negatively charged bacterial cell walls. At low concentrations of chlorhexidine, this results
in a bacteriostatic effect; at high concentrations, membrane disruption results in cell death. Chlorhexidine is
active against Grampositive and Gramnegative organisms, facultative anaerobes, aerobes, and yeasts.
INDICATIONS
Gingivitis ("inflammation of the gum tissue") is a non-destructive disease that occurs around the teeth. The
most common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease overall, is in response to bacterial
biofilms (also called plaque) that is attached to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis.
Gingival Bleeding and Inflammation is bleeding from gum.
Co-existing Gingivitis and Periodontitis
Periodontitis, also known as pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium,
i.e., the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone
around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
NOTE
Dental plaque is a biofilm or mass of bacteria that grows on surfaces within the mouth.
DOSE
Rinse mouth with 10 ml of a 0.2% solution for 1 minute bid-tid or as directed by the doctor.
