Product Overview
Hexedene Alcohol-Free Active Mouthwash (300ml) is a professional-grade antiseptic oral rinse manufactured by Pharma-Deko Plc. Specially formulated for intensive oral care, this "Active" variant contains Chlorhexidine Digluconate (0.2% w/v), a powerful antimicrobial agent that effectively combats bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses in the mouth and throat.
Unlike many traditional antiseptic rinses, Hexedene Active is alcohol-free. This means it provides effective treatment without the "pepperish" or burning sensation, making it an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive gums, mouth sores, or those recovering from dental procedures.
Key Benefits
- Gingivitis Treatment: Actively reduces gum inflammation and bleeding.
- Plaque Control: Inhibits the formation of dental plaque, helping to maintain oral hygiene between brushing.
- Mouth Ulcer Relief: Promotes healing of gum ulcers and mouth sores by keeping the area clean and free from infection.
- Halitosis Management: Effectively targets the bacteria responsible for persistent bad breath.
- Post-Surgery Care: Often recommended by Nigerian dentists for short-term use after dental extractions or surgery to prevent infection.
Active Ingredient
The primary active ingredient is Chlorhexidine Digluconate 0.2% w/v. This concentration is considered the "gold standard" in clinical oral antisepsis.
