CHLORHEXIDINE digluconate solution 5%

Therapeutic Action

Broad-spectrum bis-diguanide antiseptic

Indications

Antisepsis of minor and superficial wounds and burns, when polyvidone iodine is contraindicated.

Instructions for use

5% chlorhexidine digluconate solution equivalent to 2.8 % chlorhexidine, to be diluted before use.

To be used as a 0.05% aqueous solution: for 1 litre, dilute 10 ml of 5% concentrated solution in 990 ml of clear water, previously boiled for a few minutes and cooled.

Allow the solution to dry (minimum contact time of 1 min) to ensure a bactericidal effect.

In case of soiled wounds, cleanse previously with 4% chlorhexidine soap.

Precautions for Use

Do not use undiluted solution.

Never mix a fresh solution with a "leftover" solution.

Do not use with soap or any other class of antiseptic, e.g. povidone-iodine (incompatibility).

Avoid contact with the brain, meninges and middle ear.

Storage

  • Below 25°C - Protect from sunlight
  • After dilution, use the solution immediately; do not keep the diluted solution (risk of contamination).
  • Tightly close the bottle after each use to prevent contamination.
