CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For inhibition of the formation of dental plaque.
As an aid in the treatment and prevention of gingivitis and in the
maintenance of oral
hygiene, particularly in situations where tooth brushing cannot be
adequately
employed (e.g. following oral surgery, in mentally or physically
handicapped
patients).
Also for use in a post-peridontal surgery or treatment* regimen to
promote gingival
healing.
*NB: Use as part of a post-periodontal treatment regimen has only been
adequately
studied over the short term and following standard root surface
instrumentation.
It is useful in the management of aphthous ulceration and oral
candidal infections
(e.g. denture stomatitis and thrush).

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults:
Thoroughly rinse the mouth for about one minute with 10 ml twice
daily. Spit out
after use. In the dental surgery the patient should be instructed to
rinse the mouth for
one minute prior to treatment.
For the treatment of gingivitis a course of about one month is
advisable although
some variation in response is to be expected. In the case of aphthous
ulceration and
oral candidal infections treatment should be continued for 48 hours
after clinical
resolution. For the treatment of dental stomatitis the dentures should
be cleansed and
soaked in Corsodyl Mouthwash for fifteen minutes twice daily.
Do not exceed the stated dose.
Children and the Elderly:
The normal adult dose is appropriate for elderly patients and children
of 12 years and
over unless otherwise recommended by the dentist or the physician.
Children under 12 years of age should not use the product unless
recommended by a
healthcare professional.
Route of administration:
