Chlorhexidine gel

Use only the amount and strength of Chlorhexidine gel listed on your prescription label. This page lists 0.12–0.2% gel, with typical use twice daily after brushing. Your prescribing physician or dentist decides your dose and treatment length. Do not apply extra gel or use it more often without approval.

Apply Chlorhexidine gel only to the gum areas named on your prescription label. Follow your prescribing physician’s or dentist’s directions for the amount, applicator, and timing after brushing. Toothpaste can affect chlorhexidine, so ask about spacing. Do not swallow the gel or use mouthwash instructions for this product.

Follow your Chlorhexidine gel label for missed doses. In general, apply a missed dose when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. If so, skip it and return to your schedule. Do not double the amount. Ask your prescribing physician or dentist if you are unsure.

Chlorhexidine gel can cause tooth or tongue staining, taste changes, mouth irritation, and more tartar buildup. Stop using it and seek emergency help for trouble breathing, facial swelling, or other signs of a severe allergic reaction. Tell your prescribing physician or dentist about persistent burning, sores, or painful swelling.

Ask your prescribing physician, dentist, or pharmacist before combining Chlorhexidine gel with other oral products. Some toothpaste ingredients can reduce chlorhexidine’s activity, so spacing may be needed. Share all medicines, supplements, rinses, and gum treatments you use. Do not add another chlorhexidine product unless your prescriber tells you to.

Store Chlorhexidine gel exactly as the dispensing pharmacy’s label directs. Keep the container closed and away from children and pets. Do not assume it needs refrigeration. Follow its expiration or beyond-use date, and ask the pharmacist before using gel that has changed appearance or was exposed to extreme temperatures.

There is no set timeline for Chlorhexidine gel to help your gums. Results vary. Your response depends on the cause of your symptoms, the prescribed formula, and any dental care you need. Ask your prescribing physician or dentist when to check in, and seek prompt care if symptoms worsen.

Stop Chlorhexidine gel at the end of the course your prescribing physician or dentist ordered. Do not continue it as a daily gum treatment without approval. Ask before stopping early because your gums feel better. Results vary. Stop immediately and seek emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Switch to Chlorhexidine gel only with instructions from your prescribing physician or dentist. A gel and a rinse can have different directions, even when both contain chlorhexidine. Share your current product’s name, strength, and schedule. Ask when to stop it and start the gel, and whether any overlap is allowed.
