Is Chlorhexidine (peridex) Gel Available Anywhere?

Updated

I am prescribed peridex for oral use. While traveling in Italy, I ran out of the liquid. Visiting a pharmacy, I obtained chlorhexidine gel. Name: Plax-Gel. This product is so much more effective, twice the strength, and it travels well as compared to the liquid. Product of Switzerland and Italy. It does not seem to be available in the USA. Anyone know about its availability? Anywhere?

Hello, Kate! How are you?

You are correct, it doesn't appear that the gel is available in the U.S., I'm sorry. Thus, obtaining it elsewhere for import would be considered illegal.

The FDA classifies this as an antimicrobial. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, blistering, burning and headache.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks Vern. Showed the tube of gel to my pharmacist. She said I should have bought a few of them when I had the chance.
