What is Chlorhexidine Mylan Mouthwash 0.12% 300 ml used for?
Viatris Bain De Bouche Chlorhexidine 0,12 % 300 ml is a local antiseptic for treating gum inflammation and mouth infections. This solution is a short-term treatment that effectively combats the bacteria responsible for oral inflammation and infection.
Chlorhexidine, a broad-spectrum bactericidal antiseptic belonging to the bisdiguanide family, is a local oral treatment used in the pharmacotherapeutic class of anti-infectives and antiseptics. Chlorhexidine's bactericidal activity is mainly directed against Gram + germs, with some efficacy also against Gram - germs. The low circulating concentrations of chlorhexidine detected in the blood are mainly distributed in the liver and kidneys. Chlorhexidine is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and excreted essentially unchanged in the faeces.
When used topically in the mouth, chlorhexidine is adsorbed onto the various structures in the oral cavity (tooth enamel, dentine, cementum, mucous membranes and dentures), with slow desorption. This limited absorption enables local persistent diffusion, thus limiting the passage of chlorhexidine into the systemic circulation. What's more, the cationic nature of chlorhexidine digluconate favors strong binding to skin, mucous membranes and tissues for minimal absorption. Chlorhexidine remains detectable in saliva for 8 to 12 hours.
How do I use Chlorhexidine Mylan Mouthwash 0.12% 300 ml?
This mouthwash solution is intended for adults and children over 6 years of age. Administration is simple: simply use the contents of a 15 ml cup for each mouthwash. The recommended number of mouthwashes is 1 to 3 per day, for about one minute after meals and preferably after brushing. Before each use, it is important to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. The solution should be used undiluted, and should not be swallowed. Viatris chlorhexidine is an easy-to-use, effective mouthwash solution for fighting infections and bacteria in the mouth.
