Chlorhexidine is a bisbiguanide disinfectant which is active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative vegetative bacteria. It is also active against some viruses and some fungi. It is most active at neutral or slightly acid pH.
Percutaneous absorption of chlorhexidine gluconate is negligible and leads to clinically insignificant plasma concentrations.
Preclinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of repeated dose toxicity, carcinogenic potential and toxicity to reproduction.
