PHARMACODYNAMICS:
1.
Chlorhexidine is a biguanide disinfectant which is effective against a
wide range of vegetative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria,
and it is more effective against Gram-positive than Gram-negative
bacteria.
2.
Chlorhexidine is absorbed onto the cell walls of microorganisms, which
causes leakage of intracellular components. At low concentrations
Chlorhexidine is a bacteriostatic, at higher concentrations,
Chlorhexidine
is a bactericidal.
3.
Because of its positive charge, Chlorhexidine is absorbed during oral
rinsing on the surfaces of teeth, plague, and oral mucosa, which have
a
net
negative
charge.
Subsequently,
the
absorbed
medication
is
gradually released from these sites by diffusion for up to 24 hours as
the
concentration of Chlorhexidine in the saliva decreases. This release
provides a continuing bacteriostatic effect.
4.
Benzocaine is a surface anesthetic of the ester type with low systemic
toxicity. It is also used in combination of Chlorhexidine for the
local relief
of pain associated with dental conditions; sore throats.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
This
product
contains
Chlorhexidine
and
Benzocaine
which
is
slowly
dissolved in mouth and is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal
tract for the
relief
of
sore
throat
for
the
treatment
of
various
buccal
infections.
Pharmacokinetic studies indicate that approximately 30% of
Chlorhexidine
is retained in the oral cavity following rinsing and subsequently is
slowly
released into the oral fluids.
INDICATION(S):
For
the
prophylaxis
of
stomatitis,
gangrenous
stomatitis,
