Oxwalt Mouth Wash


Product introduction

Oxwalt Mouth Wash is used in the treatment of inflammation of gums. It kills the harmful microorganisms in the oral cavity that cause swollen gums, and tartar, bad odor from the mouth. This way it cleans the affected area and speeds up healing.

Oxwalt Mouth Wash should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the doctor’s instructions or use it in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better. You must have to avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes after using it.
