I'm having oral surgery done tomorrow and this stuff (chlorhexidine gluconate) was prescribed to me to rinse with.
Oh. My. God.
When it's in your mouth it's not so bad (like certain things my grandma spooned down my throat as a tot). When you spit it out, hot damn is it nasty - the aftertaste is like black licorice. If you don't like licorice, then it's particuarly repugnant. I feel like scratching at my tongue with my fingernails just to get it out of my mouth.
Anyone else had to use this crap? The bottle even says that I should NOT drink water afterwards as it will intensify the aftertaste. Nice.
