• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to chlorhexidine digluconate or any of the other ingredients (see storage and further information).
• In children under 12 years unless recommended by a dentist.
• Anywhere other than in your mouth. Wash thoroughly if you get any in your eyes or ears.
• Immediately after brushing your teeth. See usage instructions for more details.

Take special care with Corsodyl:

• Temporary staining of the teeth and tongue may occur. See possible side effects for more information.
• Do not bleach fabrics that have been in contact with the mouthwash.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:

• You can use Corsodyl if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Possible side effects:
Corsodyl can have side effects, but not everybody gets them.

• Stop using the mouthwash and seek immediate medical help if you get a rash, swelling of the mouth or face or have difficulty breathing. These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which is very rare.
• Stop using the mouthwash and tell your dentist if you get irritation of the mouth, soreness or swelling of the inside of the cheeks.
• These effects should go away when treatment is stopped.

Other side effects that may occur:

• Temporary staining of the tongue. This disappears when treatment is stopped
• Temporary staining of the teeth. This can normally be removed by brushing. You can avoid staining by not drinking tea, coffee or red wine - especially one hour after use, and by brushing daily with toothpaste (see usage instructions.) If staining continues it can be removed with a scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist. You can clean your dentures with denture cleaners
• You may notice a change of taste or burning sensation when you first use the mouthwash. This usually goes away with continued use.
• If peeling of the skin inside the mouth occurs, dilute Corsodyl with an equal amount of water
