Corsodyl Alcohol-Free Mouthwash

About Corsodyl Alcohol-Free Mouthwash

Corsodyl Alcohol-Free Mouthwash contains chlorhexidine digluconate 0.2% w/v, a powerful antibacterial agent designed to treat the early signs of gum disease, such as gingivitis. It works by killing plaque bacteria in as little as 30 seconds and forming a protective layer over the teeth and gums that lasts for up to 12 hours. This medicated mouthwash is specifically formulated without alcohol to provide intensive care for bleeding, swollen, or inflamed gums. Corsodyl Alcohol-Free Mouthwash is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over (unless recommended by a dentist) and is available in a convenient 300ml size:
