DescriptionChlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial biguanide used as a topical antiseptic and in dental practice for the treatment of inflammatory dental conditions caused by microorganisms.[L11512] It is one of the most common skin and mucous membrane antiseptic agents in use today.[A190417] The molecule itself is a cationic bis-guanide consisting of two 4-chlorophenyl rings and two biguanide groups joined by a central hexamethylene chain.[A190453] Topical chlorhexidine for disinfection, as well as oral rinses for dental use, carries activity against a broad range of pathogens including bacteria, yeasts, and viruses.[L11518,L11512,A190453] Chlorhexidine was developed in the UK by Imperial Chemical Industries in the early 1950s[A190474] and was introduced to the US in the 1970s.[L11572] The FDA withdrew its approval for the use of chlorhexidine gluconate topical tincture 0.5%, due to a significant number of reports concerning chemical and thermal burns associated with the use of this product.[L43942,L44027] Other formulations of chlorhexidine continue to be available.
