Contraindications of Brett Mouthwash 400mL

Do NOT use Brett Mouthwash 400mL if you:

• Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Thymol or any other ingredient in the mouthwash.
• Are children under 8 years of age (due to the high risk of accidental swallowing).

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Warnings

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor or pharmacist. While topical rinsing carries minimal risk, the safety of ingesting even small, residual amounts of a high-alcohol mouthwash is not definitively established. Use only when advised by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects of Brett Mouthwash 400mL

Side effects are generally minor, but users should be aware of the potential for irritation due to the high alcohol content.

• Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): A burning or tingling sensation in the mouth, dryness of the mouth (due to alcohol content), and altered taste sensation. These often subside after use.
• Serious but Rare Side Effects (that may require medical attention):
  • Severe Allergic Reactions: Swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing.
  • Alcohol Intoxication: Due to the high alcohol content, swallowing large amounts, especially by children, can lead to signs of intoxication (slurred speech, vomiting, severe drowsiness).

What to do if side effects occur:

• For persistent dryness or irritation, consider rinsing with water after use, though this may lessen the anti-plaque effect, or switch to an alcohol-free alternative.
• If swallowed in large amounts: Do not induce vomiting. Seek emergency medical help immediately and take the bottle with you.

Precautions and Warnings of Brett Mouthwash 400mL

• DO NOT SWALLOW: The mouthwash is for rinsing and gargling only. Swallowing the solution, particularly in large quantities, can be dangerous due to the alcohol content.
• Dilution: Do not dilute the mouthwash unless specifically instructed by a dentist or doctor, as this may compromise its efficacy.
• Children Supervision: Children over 8 years old should be supervised to ensure they spit out the mouthwash completely.
• Use After Brushing: To maximize plaque control, use the mouthwash after brushing and flossing.
• Long-Term Use: Consult your dentist if symptoms of gingivitis or bad breath persist, or if you plan to use the mouthwash continuously for more than four weeks.

The active ingredient is primarily Thymol, often combined with Ethanol (alcohol) and sometimes Sodium Fluoride. It is supplied as a concentrated oral liquid mouthwash in a 400mL bottle. It is an Over-the-Counter (OTC) Antiseptic and Anti-plaque solution.
