Clohex ADS Mouthwash belongs to a class of medication called 'antiseptic' primarily used to treat gingivitis and oral mucositis. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gum caused by harmful bacteria. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, which can cause the gum to separate from teeth, leading to tooth loss. Oral mucositis is tissue swelling in the mouth.

Clohex ADS Mouthwash contains Chlorhexidine, sodium fluoride, and zinc chloride. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic. It works by binding to the surface of teeth, inner cheeks, and gums. This kills the infectious microorganisms that cause gum disease, ulcers, and other mouth infections. Sodium Fluoride makes the teeth stronger and prevents decay (cavity) caused by bacteria. Zinc Chloride has an antiseptic (prevents the growth of microorganisms) and astringent action (tightening of soft organic tissues).

The most common side effects of Clohex ADS Mouthwash are tooth staining, a change in taste, and hard dental plaque in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
