How do I use Custom antimicrobial rinse as part of my daily mouth care?

Use Custom antimicrobial rinse exactly as your prescribing physician and prescription label direct. Typical instructions are to measure 15 mL, swish it around your mouth for 30 seconds, and spit it out, twice daily. Do not swallow the rinse. Do not dilute it unless the label specifically tells you to do so.

Chlorhexidine rinses generally should not be followed right away by water, another mouthwash, brushing, food, or drinks. Follow your pharmacy’s instructions for how long to wait. Some toothpaste ingredients can interfere with chlorhexidine, so ask your pharmacist how to space brushing and rinsing. Do not assume that using them together is best.

Keep brushing and cleaning between your teeth as your dental professional recommends. This prescription does not replace routine dental care or treatment for an infected tooth. Never use it to delay care for facial swelling, fever, or worsening tooth pain. If you cannot reliably swish and spit, contact your prescriber before using it. Alcohol-free does not mean safe to swallow.
