Because I often had inflammatory problems with the gums in the past, I use for a long time this "meridol mouthrinse" in combination with "Elmex SENSITIVE PROFESSIONAL" -Zahncreme. That's why I now for many months no gingival inflammation more. The flushing is something minty taste - but especially not as sharp as for example. Listerine. Priced made quite a difference (Well, which products there is not really!) Between drugstores, supermarkets, Internet mail order, pharmacies, there are price ranges between 4.00 to 6.50 per bottle. For consumption: If one evening for a reasonable mouthwash bite out of the "bottle" increasing daily, it arrived for about 30 days. So 12 -14 bottles per year. But aside from the mentioned price and consumption data, the mouthwash is optimally effective, so I wholeheartedly recommend it just fine.
