10Drug Tips

It is meant for mouth rinse or gargle only. Spit the rinse out after use, do not swallow it.
It should generally be used undiluted. If it makes your mouth sting, you can dilute it with an equal volume of water before use.
Avoid getting it in your eyes. If you accidentally get it in your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Do not use it for more than seven days, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
Along with using Gositis Mouth Wash maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily with a soft bristle brush. The hard bristles of a firm toothbrush can damage gums.
Inform your dentist immediately if you see any bleeding from the gums while brushing.
Quit smoking in order for the medicine to be more effective. Also, smoking is a major risk factor for developing gum disease.
Have regular dental checkups at intervals recommended by your dentist (this is normally at least once a year).
