Corsodyl Spray offers a unique dispenser that is especially userful for people who have difficulty managing liquids (as is required with the mouthwash) such as the handicapped, the elderly or infirm, or when targeting specific areas in the mouth. It is available as a mint flavoured spray from all good pharmacies and certain dentists.

- Spray tooth and gum surfaces, ulcers or other sore areas, using up to 12 pump actions twice daily (each pump delivers 0.14 ml of spray)

Because of the way chlorhexidine forms a protective layer across the teeth and gums to help prevent new plaque from forming, some temporary discolouration can occur on the teeth and tongue.
In the majority of cases this can be removed by brushing, and will disappear once the treatment has stopped.
Discolouration usually occurs when certain foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine are consumed within an hour of using the mouthwash. Other sources such as beer and cigarettes cause staining but are not associated with chlorhexidine digluconate in Corsodyl.
Below is a table of things to avoid, and some alternatives, during usage to help minimise any discolouration.
| Stain Producing Products | Alternatives |
 Tea/Coffee |
 Herbal/Fruit Tea |
| Cola Drinks |
Lemonade/Fruit Juices |
| Red Wine |
White Wine/Light coloured spirits |
| Beer |
White Wine/Light coloured spirits |
| Cigarettes |
Cut back as much as possible |
If the tooth discolouration remains, this can be removed by a simple scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist.
