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

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).
4.2 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 0.2% Mouthwash for
fifteen minutes twice daily.
Do not exceed the stated dose.
