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 toothbrushing cannot
be
adequately employed (e.g. following oral surgery, in mentally or
physically
handicapped patients).
Also for use in a post-periodontal 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 the 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.
