Introduction
Aquawash is a strong yet safe chlorhexidine mouthwash with mint flavor from Astemax Biotech, designed for effective oral antisepsis.
Composition
It contains chlorhexidine gluconate (typically 0.2% w/v), mint flavoring agents like menthol and peppermint oil, along with stabilizers such as glycerin and alcohol (around 7-11%), ensuring a refreshing taste without compromising potency.
Uses
Aquawash treats gingivitis, plaque buildup, and post-dental procedure infections by reducing oral bacteria, while the mint flavor masks the typical bitter aftertaste of chlorhexidine.
Safety Profile
Chlorhexidine in Aquawash is safe for short-term use (up to 2 weeks) under dental guidance, with common mild effects like temporary staining or taste changes that resolve post-use; rare allergic risks exist but are minimized in prescription-grade formulations.
