Corsodyl mouthwash

jjanssen

If like me, your teeth and gums need a lot of looking after and your dentist recommends using Corsodyl... Don’t buy Corsodyl!!

It’s not to say don’t use it, but Poundland and Poundstretcher do the same stuff (chlorhexidine mouthwash) for the simple price of £1! Yeah, it’s non-branded, but generally at least 1/4 of the price of a bottle of Corsodyl.

jjanssen You get what you pay for so..., If you're serious about taking care of your gums, invest in the name brand and spend the £4.50 lol

jklou93 of course it does and ruins the taste of everything you eat or drink for the next 6 hours, but what can you do when the dentist says you have to use it? 🤣

abuzan if the contents of the bottle are exactly the same then it doesn't matter what name is on the label. You're just paying a premium for the name if you choose to buy the branded version.

jjanssen

abuzan it has the exact same active ingredient which is 0.2% chorhexidine. The rest of the ingredients are pretty much immaterial, as the chlorhexidine is what the dentist is asking you to use. 😄

wagstaffes Yes, I'm brand loyal. I'm that person.

provided the ingredients are the same this is good advice. Lots of other products such as non branded aspirin, cold remedy and paracetamol are the same too and cost virtually pennies.

Thanks for the information.

abuzan well, bless you for being brand loyal, but your bank balance won’t thank you for it. Like I said, why pay £4.50 or whatever for the SAME THING that you can get for £1?

There’s no prestige in having branded Corsodyl... you don’t serve it to guests, it’s not a tag on your clothes, nobody except you and your nearest and dearest know what’s in your bathroom cabinet.

It’s the same with paracetamol and ibuprofen. Always buy the cheapest you can, because your ibuprofen always contains 200mg ibuprofen, and your paracetamol always contains 500mg paracetamol. If you buy Neurofen which can contain caffeine sometimes, just take two non-branded ibuprofen and drink a cup of coffee for the exact same effect.

(Always read the labels, this is not a substitute for professional medical advice!)

jfh yes, and, it's even easier with pharmaceutical items. All you have to do is check the Product Licence number on the back of the packet. If 2 pharmaceutical products have the same PL number then you can be sure that they are exactly the same product.

jjanssen

jfh I would never buy brand name paracetamol or ibuprofen.

When it comes to cold and flu season, I buy generic paracetamol and a generic blocked nose relief tablet, rather than buying Lemsip. (Lemsip often doesn’t contain 500mg paracetamol per sachet, so you don’t even get the headache relief you need when you take two paracetamol. However DON’T double up a Lemsip as it may contain 650mg paracetamol and the maximum dose each 4 hours is 1000mg, no more than 4 times per day)
