REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150 ML

How REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150 ML Works

• REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150 ML is a powerful oral antiseptic solution designed to combat harmful bacteria and promote optimal oral hygiene. Its effectiveness stems from a dual-action formula combining Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), each targeting oral bacteria through distinct mechanisms. Chlorhexidine Gluconate, a broad-spectrum antiseptic, works by binding to the negatively charged bacterial cell walls. This interaction disrupts the cell membrane, increasing its permeability and leading to leakage of essential intracellular components. Ultimately, this process inhibits bacterial metabolism and growth, effectively killing the bacteria. Chlorhexidine's sustained action is also due to its ability to adsorb onto the enamel surfaces of teeth and the oral mucosa, providing a prolonged antibacterial effect even after rinsing.
• Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) complements Chlorhexidine's action by acting as a cationic surfactant. CPC disrupts bacterial cell membranes, similar to Chlorhexidine, but through a different mechanism. It interacts with the lipid components of the cell membrane, causing them to destabilize and break down. This leads to cell lysis and bacterial death. Additionally, CPC possesses anti-adhesive properties, preventing bacteria from attaching to the tooth surface and forming plaque. This synergistic action of Chlorhexidine and CPC in REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE provides a comprehensive approach to reducing the bacterial load in the oral cavity.
• The combined effect of these two active ingredients makes REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE particularly effective against a wide range of oral pathogens. This includes bacteria responsible for gingivitis (gum inflammation), periodontitis (gum disease), and bad breath (halitosis). By reducing the bacterial load and preventing plaque formation, REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE helps to reduce gum bleeding, inflammation, and the progression of periodontal disease. It's important to note that while REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE is effective at killing bacteria, it's intended as a short-term adjunct to regular brushing and flossing. Long-term use can lead to staining of the teeth and altered taste perception. Always follow the instructions of your dentist or healthcare professional.

Common side effects of Rexidin Plus Mouthrinse may include: Taste disturbance, staining of teeth, increased tartar (calculus) formation, dry mouth, and altered taste sensation. Less common side effects can include: oral irritation, allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), and temporary burning sensation. Rarely, prolonged use may lead to an overgrowth of opportunistic organisms in the mouth. Contact your doctor if any side effects persist or worsen.

• If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
• Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150ML at room temperature.

• **Maintain Good Oral Hygiene:** REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene routine. Continue to brush your teeth twice daily and floss regularly to remove plaque and food particles. The mouthwash complements these practices by reaching areas that brushing and flossing might miss, providing a more thorough clean and enhanced protection against oral issues.
• **Dilute Properly:** Always dilute REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE as directed on the product label. Typically, this involves mixing a specified amount of the concentrate with an equal volume of water. Using the mouthwash undiluted can cause temporary staining of teeth or irritation of the oral tissues. Proper dilution ensures the mouthwash is both effective and gentle on your mouth.
• **Use as Directed:** Follow the instructions regarding frequency and duration of use. REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE is often recommended for short-term use, typically up to two weeks, unless otherwise advised by your dentist or healthcare professional. Prolonged use can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in your mouth and may lead to other oral health concerns. Adhering to the recommended usage guidelines helps maximize benefits while minimizing potential side effects.
• **Avoid Swallowing:** REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE is intended for rinsing purposes only and should not be swallowed. After rinsing for the recommended time (usually 30 seconds to one minute), spit the mouthwash out completely. Swallowing the mouthwash can cause gastrointestinal upset or other adverse effects. Supervise children when they use mouthwash to ensure they do not swallow it.
• **Be Aware of Potential Side Effects:** While REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE is generally safe when used as directed, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as altered taste sensation, increased tartar buildup, or staining of teeth. These effects are usually reversible once you stop using the mouthwash. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, consult your dentist or healthcare provider for further guidance.

• There are no known food interactions with REXIDIN PLUS MOUTHRINSE 150 ML. It can be used before or after food. However, it is generally recommended to avoid rinsing your mouth with water, eating, or drinking immediately after using the mouthwash for at least 30 minutes to allow it to work effectively.
