Question 5

chlorhexidine gluconate taste bad?

Question 6

how does chlorhexidine gluconate work?

Accepted Answer

Stops Bacteria: Chlorhexidine damages the cell walls of many oral bacteria (and some funguses and viruses), thereby either stopping them from reproducing or killing them directly. Like any medication (including oral rinses), it can have unwanted side effects, so it should only be prescribed by a doctor/dentist and monitored regularly. In low concentrations, it can be quite useful in dentistry for various issues.

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Anyone who is allergic to any peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) ingredients should not use it.

Question 10

is there a nonprescription peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate)?

Accepted Answer

No: The active ingredient in Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) (chlorhexidine) is not available without a prescription. That's primarily because this medicine should not be taken long-term, & it's indicated only for specific oral conditions. If people could just buy it, they would use it indiscriminately & for far too long, so it has to be regulated. There are potential side-effects from improper use which have to be avoided.
