Product Description of Chlorhexidine CAS#55-56-1
Chlorhexidine serves for the prevention and intervention of multiple oral infectious disorders. Its applicable scenarios cover gingivitis including acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, oral infections following dental operations, and oral complications occurring in cancer and leukemia patients. It is also effective against stomatitis and follicular stomatitis induced by bacteria or fungi, such as infections related to denture use.
Beyond oral care, chlorhexidine can suppress plaque accumulation. It is adopted for skin and medical device disinfection, and functions as a preservative component in eye drop preparations.
