Chlorhexidine gluconate

Ghlorhexidine Gluconate. Chlorhexidine gluconate [18472-51 -0] (l,l -hexamethylene bis[5-(p-chlorophenyl) biguanide] di-D-gluconate) is used as an antimicrobial against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria ia the oral cavity. It is used as a therapeutic supplement ia the treatment of gingivitis, periodontal disease, and dental caries. A mouth riase form is available as a 0.12 wt% aqueous solution (288). 

Chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibiclens) affects a wide range of microorganisms, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. 

Topical antiseptics and germicides are primarily used to reduce the number of bacteria on skin surfaces. Some of these drag s, such as chlorhexidine gluconate, may be used as a surgical scrub, as a preoperative skin cleanser, for washing the hands before and after caring for patients, and in the home to cleanse the skin. Others may be applied to minor cuts and abrasions to prevent infection. Some of these drag s may also be used on mucous membranes.

A wide range of substances that are toxic to the cornea may produce epithelial insult known as toxic keratitis. This terminology is generally reserved for mild superficial corneal irritation after contact with a harmful substance. Solutions foreign to the eye that commonly cause toxic keratitis include shampoos, lotions, and chlorinated pool water. Toxic corneal reactions have been reported from tonometer tips contaminated with 70% isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide that was not fully removed after disinfection of the probe. Irreversible corneal scarring has resulted from inadvertent ocular contamination with chlorhexidine gluconate, a skin cleanser used preop-eratively. The mistaken use of nonophthalmic products for eyedrops may result in various forms of corneal trauma.
