chlorhexidine

Not all chlorhexidine formulations are the same

To ensure effectiveness, the proven antibacterial formulation of Corsodyl Treatment Mouthwash has been specifically engineered to leave out additives that might impact the efficacy of its active ingredient, chlorhexidine.1,2

This includes additives such as sodium fluoride, sodium citrate, sorbitol and anti-discolouration systems, which are used in some mouthwashes, deactivate or limit the efficacy of chlorhexidine.3

Chlorhexidine action

Fast, effective treatment of gum disease

Chlorhexidine digluconate acts rapidly, killing the bacteria that cause plaque in 30 seconds4,5
