Generic : Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Isopropyl alcohol

Indications : For the sanitization of clean and intaglio skin. For pre-operative surgical hand sanitization, hand sanitization on the ward earlier to aseptic methods or after dealing with sullied materials. For sanitization of the patients’ skin earlier to surgery or other obtrusive methods

Pharmacology : Chlorhexidine could be a very strong cationic chemoprophylactic operator that encompasses a broad-spectrum of action against gm+ve and gm-ve microbes. It is both bacteriostatic and bactericidal depending on its concentration. The bactericidal impact, which is accomplished at tall concentrations, is due to the authoritative of the cationic to contrarily charged bacterial cell dividers and extramicrobial complexes. Bacteriostatic impact is accomplished at moo concentrations which causes an modification of bacterial cell osmotic balance and spillage of potassium and phosphorus.

Administration & Dosage :

• Pre-operative surgical hand disinfection: Dispense 5 ml of solution and spread thoroughly over both hands and forearms, rubbing vigorously. When dry apply a further 5 ml and repeat the procedure.
• Antiseptic hand disinfection on the ward: Dispense 3 ml of solution and spread thoroughly over the hands and wrists rubbing vigorously until dry.
• Disinfection of patients skin: Prior to surgery apply the solution to a sterile swab and rub vigorously over the operation site for a minimum of 2 minutes. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is also used for preparation of the skin prior to invasive procedures such as venepuncture.

Interaction : Chlorhexidine is contradictory with cleansers and other anionic specialists. Hypochlorite fades may cause brown stains to create in textures which have already been in contact with chlorhexidine arrangements.

Contraindications : Chlorhexidine Gluconate is contraindicated for people who have already appeared a touchiness response to chlorhexidine. In any case, such responses are amazingly uncommon.

Side Effect : Irritative skin responses can once in a while happen. Summed up unfavorably susceptible responses have too been detailed but are greatly uncommon.

Pregnancy & Lactation : No untoward effects are known

Precautions & Warnings : Maintain a strategic distance from contact with brain, meninges, center ear or delicate tissues and eyes. Don’t infuse or utilize in body cavities.
