Periogard (chlorhexidine gluconate) Side Effects, Uses Dosages

Side Effects for Periogard (chlorhexidine gluconate)

The second it touched my tongue I was sick. Absolutely disgusting.

Nauseau with vomiting after a week of using it.

Leaves horrible taste in mouth, not worth it. Felt sick for 2 days.

Slight bitter taste for about an hour after use

My periodontist doesn't have me rinse with it, it's just to dip proxy brush into every couple teeth which he claims is more effective (and so it doesn't affect my taste buds throughout the day).

PERIOGARD (CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE): This medication is used along with regular tooth brushing/flossing to treat gingivitis, a gum disease that causes red, swollen, and easily bleeding gums. Chlorhexidine belongs to a class of drugs known as antimicrobials. It works by decreasing the amount of bacteria in the mouth, helping to reduce swelling and redness of the gums and bleeding when you brush. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Currently on it. I took it Tuesday morning after avoiding to Cure the yeast infection hoping it would go away it's self. But I was in so much pain so decided to get monistat 1 which I taken before but never experience the pain I am feeling now. I am finishing on day 3 it is Thursday night and I'm still in pain. It's on and off, sometimes I don't feel the pain but it's still burns to pee but I don't have the itch just pain which I pray means that it is working. If this pain does not stop I will have to go to urgent care which sucks because I do not have insurance right now. Lord why is this so painful, it feels like the pain I had right after giving birth. It feels like it burning when I pee but other then that it feel heavy, i DONT kno how to explain it other then it feels like I just gave birth.

If you are at high risk for cancer V will mask most pelvic/abdominal soft tissue sensation. That can interfere with early detection. It takes 5 days to clear your system so I take a week off from it every 2 months. I just went 14 days recently because the normal feeling was good.

50 mg. dose not effective. 100 mg. causes all-day headaches not cured by Tylenol, plus an upset stomach definitely not worth the slight erectile assistance experienced. Will not use in future.

3 Degerative discs,Spinal Stenosis.

Slight headache and makes me tired. I take it at night so it helps me sleep. Huge plus

Symptoms similar to very low blood sugar. Extreme hunger pains. Trembling hands and a headache that went away almost immediately upon eating. Symptoms worsened with caffeine.

The generic is much worse than the real thing. Have your doctor put DAW on the prescription. The generic doesnt have a coating on it and the real drug does.

ummm...i hated it. if you think you're at all like me or if you like to get orgasms, perhaps it would be in your best interest to NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.

No side effects, excellent drug. I used to take Lunesta after two years I realized it stopped working. This seems to have worn off a bit but I have no "zombie" effect during the day the way I did with regular Ambien. I haven't tried to come off it so I can't say anything to that. My insomnia originally started almost 13 years ago and I got the best sleep with this medication.

I already have a lot of pain from severe spinal problems--can't take any more pain.
