Chlorhexidine gluconate is an oral rinse with antimicrobial properties designed for use by patients with gingivitis characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding. The rinse contains 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, which is slowly released into oral fluids after use. Studies show that about 30% of the active ingredient is retained in the oral cavity following rinsing, with limited absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Chlorhexidine gluconate was not found to cause significant bacterial resistance, overgrowth of potentially opportunistic organisms, or other adverse changes in the oral microbial ecosystem. However, the clinical significance of its antimicrobial activities is not clear. The rinse should not be used by individuals who are known to be hypersensitive to chlorhexidine gluconate or other formula ingredients.*
