Products Description of Chlorhexidine CAS#55-56-1
Chlorhexidine is extensively utilized to prevent and manage a variety of oral infections, such as gingivitis (including acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis), infections following dental surgery, and oral complications in leukemia and cancer patients. It is also effective in treating bacterial or fungal stomatitis, including follicular stomatitis linked to denture use. Beyond oral care, Chlorhexidine aids in minimizing dental plaque and serves as a disinfectant for skin and medical equipment, as well as a preservative in eye drop solutions.

Product Application of Chlorhexidine CAS#55-56-1
Chlorhexidine is extensively employed to prevent and manage gingivitis (including acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis), post-operative oral infections, and oral complications in patients with cancer or leukemia. It is also indicated for treating stomatitis and denture-related bacterial or fungal infections. Beyond its oral applications, Chlorhexidine aids in plaque reduction, serves as a disinfectant for skin and medical instruments, and acts as a preservative in ophthalmic solutions. Functioning as a surfactant-based antimicrobial, it demonstrates potent broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, rendering it highly effective for diverse disinfection purposes.
