CHLORHEXIDA 4 SOLUTION
CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE 4% W/V
DESCRIPTION
A clear reddish solution without any foreign particles and with
Lavender odour.
Each
100mL
of
the
solution
contains
4g
of
_Chlorhexidine _
_Gluconate. _
_ _
PHARMACODYNAMIC
_Chlorhexidine _
is bactericidal to both gram-positive and gram-
negative bacteria, although it is not as potent against the latter. It
disrupts the plasma membrane of the bacteria cell, and cellular
contents are lost.
Species
of
_Proteus _
and
_Pseudomonas _
are
relatively
less
susceptible. It inhibits mycobacteria and also some viruses and is
active against some fungi. It is inactive against bacterial spores at
room temperature.
PHARMACOKINETICS
_Chlorhexidine _ is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract
and skin. It has low systemic toxicity. Thus is would not be
expected to cause systemic intoxication from topical application,
and none has been noted thus far. A few cases of sensitization
have been reported. Bacterial resistance to the drug has not been
reported, but overgrowth(superinfection) by naturally resistant
gram-negative
bacteria
may
sometimes
occur.
Instances
of
hospital epidemics caused by _Pseudomonas maltophilia _actually
growing in aqueous solutions of chlorhexidine have been reported.
INDICATIONS
_Chlorhexida 4 Solution _is used for general antiseptic purpose such
as for pre-operative skin disinfection and hand washing.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE
Used as a detergent solution for surgical hand disinfection and
antiseptic hand washing, undiluted.
ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS
_Chlorhexidine _ should not be used on the brain, meninges, middle
ear, or other sensitive tissues because it is irritant. Contact with
the
eye should be avoided except for solutions expressly for use in the
eyes.
Chlorhexidine if absorbed on to contact lenses may cause eye
irritation.
Syringes

or saline before use. Also contraindicate
