Metronidazole Mouth Wash & Colgate Elyzol Dental Gel
http://www.irmj.ir/browse.php?a_code=A- ... d=1&ftxt=1
This refers to tests that successfully treated halitosis using a metronidazole mouth wash. I've searched around but can't find any metronidazole mouth wash but I did discover that Colgate Elyzol Dental Gel contains metronidazole and might have the same effect. However it's not available over the counter.
I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried Colgate Elyzol or if there's a way we can buy it to see if this can cure the disease?

You could make your own metronidazole mouthwash by combining 300 mls water, 150 mls concentrated orange juice and a crushed 200 mg metronidazole tablet.

Aydinmur, if you read this post I'd be interested to know what you think about the potential efficacy of mixing this crushed antiobiotic with water and orange juice (as per what's written in the above article) to make a mouthwash.

If it works, I would like to know why this isnt generally available to help with chronic halitosis, even if it has to be on prescription. JESUS CHRIST it makes me so angry at how we have to find our own cures and have to do our own research into this devastating problem because all that matters in this sucking world is MONEY and nobody wants to risk wiping out this multi-billion dollar breath industry, full of products that dont even work.

My understanding of bacterial resistance is that once bacteria have managed to become resistant, then non-resistant bacteria will eventually begin to colonize once the medication has stopped, particularly inside the mouth which is constantly exposed to external bacteria. Look at how quickly BB usually returns within a day or two when metronidazole is stopped, the mouth is quickly re-colonized by bacteria which is probably finding its way from the outside.
There is also the possibility of mixing and alternating different antibiotics to prevent antibiotic resistance. Metronidazole is so effective on BB because it is secreted in saliva; its like having a constant mouthwash. So making it into a mouthwash it could potentially give the same benefits, but without affecting the flora in the rest of the body and without the potential side effects on the organs.

I think attempting to make your own metronidazole mouthwash is worth a try. There is absolutely nothing to lose, its an ingenious idea if it really can be used in this way.
Since no antibiotic kills everything, its
probably worth eating tons of yoghurt and blasting your mouth with probiotics at the same time as refraining from all other antibacterial measures while doing this in the hope that a more healthy microflora can stand a chance of establishing itself. This last bit of info might be completely useless, but its still worth trying just incase.

But this type of a mouthwash may be the only thing that can help us and it should absolutely be tested more to make sure that it is effective and safe.
