Corsodyl can have side effects, but not everybody gets them.
• Stop using the mouthwash and seek immediate medical help if you get a rash, swelling of the mouth or face or have difficulty breathing. These effects may be symptoms of a severe allergic reaction which is very rare. • Stop using the mouthwash and tell your dentist if you get irritation of the mouth, soreness or swelling of the inside of the cheeks. These effects should go away when treatment is stopped.
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 How to use). If staining continues it can be removed with a scale & polish from your dentist or hygienist. You can clean your dentures with denture cleaner.
• You may notice a change of taste or burning sensation when you first use the mouthwash. This usually goes away with continued use. • If peeling of the skin inside the mouth occurs, dilute Corsodyl with an equal amount of water.
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.qov.uk/vellowcard. By reporting side effects you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.
