PHARMACODYNAMICS :
Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant which is effective

Proteus _ are
relatively less susceptible. Chlorhexidine is most active at a neutral
or slightly acid
pH and its activity may be reduced by blood and other organic matter.

Chlorhexidine is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and
skin.
