CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse, 0.12% provides antimicrobial
activity during oral
rinsing. The clinical significance of 0.12% 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 bacteria resistance, overgrowth of
potentially opportunistic
organisms or other adverse changes in the oral microbial ecosystem.
Three months
after chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse use 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.
PHARMACOKINETICS
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 into 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 µg/g in human
