- Chlorhexidine is a
chemical antiseptic.
- It kills both
gram-positive and gram-negative microbes, although it is less effective
with some gram-negative microbes.
- It is also
bacteriostatic.
- Chlorhexidine in
high concentrations must be kept away from eyes and the inner ear,
although it is used in minute concentrations in some contact lens
solutions.
- The mechanism of
action is believed to be membrane disruption, and not ATPase
inactivation as previously thought.
- Chlorhexidine is
deactivated by anionic compounds, including the anionic surfactants
.
- It has been shown to
have an immediate bactericidal action and a prolonged bacteriostatic
action due to adsorption onto the pellicle coated enamel
surface.
- It is sometimes
marketed under the brand names Peridex, Periochip or Periogard Oral
Rinse.
- In the UK it is
mainly marketed under the brand name Corsodyl ; in Germany as
Chlorhexamed; in Australia as Savacol; in India as Clohex or
Dejavu-MW.
- It is often used as
an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to kill dental plaque and
other oral bacteria Chlorhexidine can thus be used to improve bad
breath.
- The antiseptic
chlorhexidine is widely used both in everyday life and in the hospital
environment.
- It is usually
well tolerated, and there are scarce reports of allergic reactions in
our environment.
- It is commonly used
as detergents & toothpastes.
- It is also a
component of the household antiseptic Savlon.
- It is used for
general skin cleansing, a surgical scrub and a pre-operative skin
preparation.
- Due to other
chemicals listed as inactive ingredients, the cleanser solution is not
suitable for use as mouthwash.
- It is often used as
a rubbing agent prior to the use of hypodermic or intravenous needles in
place of iodine.
- Chlorhexidine is
contraindicated for use near the meninges, in the genital area, and near
the eyes and ears.
