Oral-C Mouthwash 0.20% contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.2%), a clinically proven antiseptic designed to maintain oral hygiene and prevent bacterial infections in the mouth. This mouthwash is highly effective against a broad spectrum of oral bacteria, helping to control plaque formation, reduce gum inflammation, and prevent gingivitis. With regular use, Oral-C Mouthwash 0.20% promotes healthier gums, fresher breath, and overall oral wellness.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate works by binding to the bacterial cell membrane and disrupting its integrity. This action results in leakage of cellular contents and eventual bacterial death. Its prolonged antibacterial effect allows continued protection against microbial growth even after rinsing, making it an ideal adjunct to daily oral hygiene practices.

Oral-C Mouthwash 0.20% is suitable for adults and children above the age recommended by a dentist or physician. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with gum disease, post-dental procedures, or those prone to plaque accumulation. Unlike regular mouthwashes, this antiseptic formulation provides both preventive and therapeutic benefits, ensuring a cleaner, healthier oral environment.

Mechanism of Action

Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a cationic bisbiguanide antiseptic. It binds to negatively charged bacterial cell walls, disrupting membrane integrity and increasing cell permeability. This leads to leakage of essential intracellular components, resulting in bacterial cell death.

In addition, Chlorhexidine exhibits substantivity, meaning it binds to oral tissues and teeth, releasing gradually over several hours. This prolonged action prevents bacterial recolonization, reduces plaque formation, and maintains a healthier oral microbiome.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults and children (as recommended by a dentist): Rinse with 10–15 ml of Oral-C Mouthwash 0.20% for 30–60 seconds, twice daily.

• Do not swallow the mouthwash; it is intended for topical use only.

• Avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing with water for at least 30 minutes after use to maximize effectiveness.

• Use consistently for the prescribed duration to achieve optimal results.
