Warnings and precautions
• Do not use for prolonged treatments; consult your doctor or dentist if you do not notice improvements after a few days of treatment.
• The use, especially if prolonged, of products for local (topical) application can give rise to sensitization phenomena (excessive reaction of the body to foreign substances with which it has come into contact). In this case, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor to begin appropriate therapy.
• If pain, swelling or irritation of the mouth occurs after using the product, stop use and contact your doctor or dentist.
• In the initial stages of treatment, changes in taste, numbness, or burning of the tongue may occur. These are usually temporary and resolve with use of the product. If they persist, consult your doctor or dentist.
• The product is for external use only and therefore must not be ingested.
• Avoid contact with eyes or ears: If the product comes into contact with your eyes or ears, rinse immediately with water.
• If you experience symptoms such as a rash, swelling of the lips, tongue, throat, or face, or difficulty breathing (indicating a serious allergic reaction), stop using the product and contact a doctor immediately. Also contact your doctor if you have had these conditions in the past.
• Chlorhexidine gluconate may cause superficial staining of the tongue, teeth, and materials used in dentistry (e.g., fillings and dentures).
To prevent staining, it's important to maintain daily oral hygiene using a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. It may be helpful to rinse with water between treatments with Broxo Din or throughout the day.
The stain can be removed with professional cleaning, although it may persist on damaged surfaces.
