Peridex (active ingredient: chlorhexidine gluconate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Gingivitis: Peridex is used for the treatment of gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial plaque.
  2. Periodontitis: It is indicated for the management of periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to loss of teeth if untreated.
  3. Oral Hygiene: Peridex is also used as an oral rinse to help reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth, promoting oral hygiene.

Peridex belongs to a class of drugs known as antiseptic agents, which works by reducing the number of bacteria in the mouth.

To use Peridex, which comes in the form of a 0.12% liquid, rinse your mouth with the solution after brushing your teeth. This should be done usually twice a day, after breakfast and at bedtime, or as directed by your doctor. Do not swallow the solution or mix it with any other substance. After using chlorhexidine, wait at least 30 minutes before rinsing your mouth with water or mouthwash, brushing your teeth, eating, or drinking.

The typical dosing for chlorhexidine (Peridex) is to use 15 mL (one capful) of undiluted Peridex oral rinse as a mouthwash for 30 seconds twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening after brushing and flossing.
