Composition

This formulation contains:

• 0.5% w/v Chlorhexidine Gluconate (equivalent to a 2.5% v/v Chlorhexidine Gluconate solution BP)
• 70% v/v Isopropyl Alcohol BP

Pharmacology

At physiological pH, chlorhexidine salts dissociate, releasing the positively charged chlorhexidine cation. This cationic molecule binds to the negatively charged walls of bacterial cells, exerting its bactericidal effect. At lower concentrations, chlorhexidine provides a bacteriostatic effect, while higher concentrations lead to membrane disruption and cell death.

Dosage & Administration

• For Hand Disinfection: Apply approximately 3 ml to clean hands and scrub thoroughly until dry.
• For Surgical Instrument Disinfection: Use around 5 ml in a clean container and immerse instruments for 2 minutes.
• For Skin Disinfection Before Surgery: Apply about 3 ml with a cotton ball, scrubbing the area until it is dry.
• For Wound Disinfection: Use around 3 ml with cotton to clean the wound until it dries.

Note: Always use this medication as directed by a registered healthcare professional.
