In case of skin rash, swelling or difficulty in breathing, discontinue use of the product and seek immediate medical attention. Transient changes in taste and transient numbness, tingling or burning sensations of the tongue may initially occur. These effects usually diminish with continued use. If they persist, consult your doctor or dentist.

Do not use for prolonged treatments; after a short period of treatment without appreciable results, consult your doctor. Chlorhexidine gluconate can cause superficial discoloration of the tongue, teeth and some materials used for fillings and prostheses. Stains are not permanent and can be largely prevented by reducing the consumption of food chromogens, such as tea, coffee and red wine. As for the teeth and orthodontic material, this coloring can be prevented with the daily use of a common toothpaste before using the solution, oral mucosal spray and dental gel, taking care to rinse the mouth with water in the interval between the two treatments, or at another time of the day. These precautions are necessary as chlorhexidine gluconate is incompatible with anionic compounds generally present in common toothpastes. In some cases, the coloring can be eliminated by resorting to professional cleaning. In the case of anterior prostheses and fillings that have infiltrated edges and / or rough surfaces, the pigmentation may persist even after professional cleaning. A professional cleaning intervention may be required following treatments such as maxillary fixation or the application of orthodontic appliances that have not made it possible to carry out normal mechanical oral hygiene. Contains polyoxyethylene-hydrogenated castor oil. It can cause local skin reactions.
