DESCRIPTION
Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an oral rinse containing 0.12%
chlorhexidine gluconate (1,1
-
hexamethylene bis[5-(p-chlorophenyl) biguanide] di-D-gluconate) in a
base containing water, 11.6%
alcohol, glycerin, PEG-40 sorbitan diisostearate, flavor, sodium
saccharin, and FD&C Blue No. 1.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a near-neutral solution (pH range 5-7).
Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a salt of
chlorhexidine and gluconic acid. Its chemical structure is:
Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse provides antimicrobial activity
during oral rinsing. The clinical
significance of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse's antimicrobial
activities is not clear.
Microbiological sampling of plaque has shown a general reduction of
counts of certain assayed
bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic, ranging from 54-97% through six
months use.
Use of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse in a six month clinical
study did not result in any significant
changes in bacterial resistance, overgrowth of potentially
opportunistic organisms or other adverse
changes in the oral microbial ecosystem. Three months after
Chlorhexidine Glucoante Oral Rinse was
discontinued, the number of bacteria in plaque had returned to
baseline levels and resistance of plaque
bacteria to chlorhexidine gluconate was equal to that at baseline.
Pharmacokinetic studies with Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse
indicate approximately 30% of the
active ingredient, chlorhexidine gluconate, is retained in the oral
cavity following rinsing. This retained
drug is slowly released in the oral fluids. Studies conducted on human
subjects and animals demonstrate
chlorhexidine gluconate is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract. The mean plasma level of
chlorhexidine gluconate reached a peak of 0.206 mcg/g in humans 30
minutes after they ingested a 300
mg dose of the drug. Detectable levels of chlorhexidine gluconate were
not
