Corsodyl 1% w/w Dental Gel helps you target problem areas in your mouth directly and effectively. It is an intensive treatment that is formulated to treat and prevent gum problems, such as red, swollen or bleeding gums.

It is clinically proven to help put a stop to the first stage of gum disease, gingivitis. If left untreated, this can progress to the irreversible second stage of gum disease periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.

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

Stop using the gel and seek immediate medical help if you get a rash, swelling of the lips, tongue, face or have difficulty breathing. These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which is very rare.
Stop using the gel and tell your dentist if you get irritation, soreness or swelling of the mouth.

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 Check before you use). 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 gel. This usually goes away with continued use.

If you do get any side effects, even those not mentioned above, tell your doctor, dentist or pharmacist.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.
