I was prescribed this after a dental surgery. Within a week I was experiencing dry mouth and tong, irritated gums and tong, mouth sores, dry and irritated red lips and partial loss of taste. The side effects were outweighing the benefit. I discussed this with my dentist and he will prescribe a different oral rinse.

This was swabed on me before surgery, after surgery and during the night, I couldn't sleep, I felt sick with nausea, pain in my head and stomach cramps. There was quite an amount the surgeon painted on my back and arm. 8 hrs after the operation I thought this could be the cause for my symptoms, and immediately washed it off. Within 1/2 an hour my symptoms had gone. It could even be a reaction of ...

I was prescribed this for tonsil stones. Not sure if it's really working, but it has alcohol which kills germs. Stained my teeth and causes my mouth to be more dry so I will stop using.

Had a bad tooth pulled. Dentist prescribed this mouthwash to use for healing. Used 3x and stopped. Burned the inside of mouth and throat ,blisters on back of tongue ,roof of mouth ,and back of throat. Throat is not letting me swallow down food . The taste is so bad I don't want to eat . Dry cotton mouth that won't go away , upset stomach and dizziness. Probably from not being able to eat anything. When will it go away? It's been for 3 weeks and I can't stand the taste of anything. Taste like chemicals. My mouth is worse then when I started. Wish I never took it . But shouldn't gargle with salt water either because of heart condition. Not knowing what to do to clear up all the symptoms I got from using this product. Thought as time went by it would get better ,still waiting...... : ( Read More Read Less

I was prescribed this medication for my mouth. I used it for a few days I had severe burning on my mouth and my lips I contacted the pharmacy. They said that that’s not normal. I ended up with severe dry mouth and was drinking buckets of water for the next two weeks. The inside of my mouth has still not healed properly my lips are severely dried out, and the margin on the inside of my lips has sores on it, and it’s severely dried and cracked, it has been an absolute nightmare. I would never touch this stuff again. Don’t let anybody put you on it. Read More Read Less

I only used this rinse one time right before bed. My mouth immediately burned & my tongue became irritated, very sensitive & slightly swollen. The sensations lasted a number of hours & made going to sleep very difficult. I am not using this produce again.

Was told to try this by my dentist after a full teeth extraction and immediate dentures. I tried the usual salt rinse for a few days first, but one spot got infected, so I went by the office and was told to try this for a few days. I could not manage to use it more than 3 times, could just not keep the stuff in my mouth long enough, it burned to much, but the infection was disminished enough that I could go back to salt rinses.

Was prescribed this medicated mouth rinse for a bit of gum irritation and inflammation I had visited the dentist for. Worked like a charm, within 1 week. Still using as prescribed for an extra week.

My dentist prescribed me this for very bitter taste. Some time small red blister appeared in mouth too. He mentioned that this happened due to bacteria. when I used this product for a day or two couple of times. Blister as well as the bad taste go away. This medicine work for me like miracle.

The rinse caused a black ring where my teeth reach the gums and in between my teeth also. Not attractive in the least. I asked my Dentist if I should brush after using the rinse-he said not necessary. The Oral Surgeon prescribed it after he removed 3 teeth on the lower left side and bone-I had osteomyelitis in my jaw caused by Strep.

Be very careful before using this rinse. I had a severe allergic reaction after only 3 rinses. I spent 4 days in the hospital on several strong medications with an intravenous in both hands.

I have periodontis and would brush and floss regularly but my gums would still bleed. I tried other mouthwashes and nothing helped. This was prescribed and I was afraid to use it because of the staining it said you might get. I eventually used it and it has helped tremendously. I only have a one tooth that bleeds a tad occasionally and when I went to the dentist and they probed me, no bleeding. That was unheard of for me. I actually go for cleanings every 3 months thats how bad my bleeding was. I get slight staining on the corners of my teeth and a slight build up of tartar. I noticed a canker sore every now and then but they never fully develop or last long. The taste is not bad at all and i think my tongue is a litte darker but for me the results outweigh the minor problems. Read More Read Less

I have Sjogrens Syndrome and with loss of teeth due to no saliva production the microbiotic properties of CHX works very well. When I get sores inside my mouth they disappear usually overnight. I swear by this product and I have been using this for the past ten years. Its awesome.

I was prescribed this drug under the label name Acclean by my dentist after a deep cleaning procedure. After the 2nd use I experienced an itchy hive like rash bump on the outside of my mouth where maybe a slight drop touched and I noticed a slight redness and swelling on the left and right corners of my lower lip along with a slight numb tingling feeling.I rinsed my mouth with water 45 minutes after use and applied cold water repeatedly to the rash area.This extreme type of reaction after only 2 rinses is absolutely unacceptable for me. I was feeling fine with no mouth pain or rash prior to the rinse treatment. I am also in basically good health. I will NOT use this product again. I shudder to think what might happen to me in 6 days let alone 6 weeks. Please let the user beware. It's the weekend however I will report this to my dentist on next week and have this reaction added to my medical records at my doctor office when I go for my annual visit. One last thing the taste of the product remains in my mouth one hour 20 minutes now even after rinsing with clear water. Users may want to know this too. Read More Read Less

I had an ulcer in one nostril for over three years. It bled often. Nothing touched it. Then I tried Paroex that was prescribed for my husband. I swabbed my nostril with a Q-tip dipped in this stuff and in less than four days, it is healed! I am thrilled! Nice minty smell, too.

When I went to the dentist last week, the hygienist noticed an ulcer in my mouth and asked me if I get them often. I have gotten them all my life and thought it was just a thing I had to deal with. The doctor gave me this mouthwash and it has tremendously helped my ulcers. If I get an ulcer and use this in the evening, by the morning time it is practically gone. If you have problems with ulcers, this may be something to ask your dentist about.
