Clohex ADS Mouth Wash features three active ingredients:

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.2%): Acting as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, chlorohexidine targets various bacteria, yeasts, and certain viruses. It binds to bacterial cell walls, altering their osmotic balance and increasing permeability. This enables chlorohexidine to enter the bacterial cells and cause protein coagulation leading to cell death.

• Sodium Fluoride (0.05%): This ingredient helps prevent dental caries by substituting fluoride ions for hydroxide ions in tooth crystal structure forming fluorapatite, which is more resistant to acid demineralisation by cariogenic bacteria. It also inhibits bacterial enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism thus reducing acid production.

• Zinc Chloride (0.09%): Known for its astringent, antiseptic, and anti-halitosis properties, zinc chloride forms a protective layer over mucous membranes and exposed skin providing a soothing effect. It demonstrates antimicrobial activity against various oral bacteria associated with plaque formation and bad breath. Furthermore, zinc aids in neutralising volatile sulphur compounds responsible for bad breath.

• Store Clohex ADS Mouth Wash at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.

• Place the bottle in a dark, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• For maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing gum disease, limit your intake of sugary foods and drinks. Excessive sugar can increase plaque formation, which Clohex ADS Mouth Wash is used to manage.

• Adopt a routine of regular physical activity. Exercise enhances overall body function, including circulation, which can help reduce inflammation – an issue this mouthwash helps manage in cases of gingivitis and periodontitis.
