Your prescription label and your prescribing physician’s instructions determine your dose. The typical directions for Custom antimicrobial rinse are to swish 15 mL for 30 seconds twice daily, then spit it out. These are general directions, not a replacement for your personal prescription. If the label and your visit instructions differ, contact your prescriber or pharmacist before using it.
Measure each dose with the cup supplied by the pharmacy or another marked medicine cup. Do not use a kitchen spoon. Do not dilute the rinse unless your label tells you to. Using more rinse or using it more often can increase irritation and other side effects.
A licensed physician or dentist in your state decides whether this treatment is appropriate and how long you should use it. Do not share it with anyone else. This compounded medication contains chlorhexidine 0.12% and xylitol and is alcohol-free. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved.
