Application

Chlorhexidine has been used to study how essential oils improve skin antisepsis when combined with chlorhexidine digluconate and is used for skin permeation studies . Chronic rinsing with chlorhexidine has been shown to decrease the saltiness of NaCl and the bitterness of quinine.
Used to study mechanism of membrane dysruption by bis(biguanide) molecules.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cationic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent belonging to the bis(biguanide) family. Its mechanism of action involves destabilization of the outer bacterial membrane. It is used primarily as a topical antiseptic/disinfectant in wound healing, at catheterization sites, in various dental applications and in surgical scrubs.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Light sensitive.

Endocrinology, 158(10), 3605-3619 (2017-09-25)
Progressive scarring is ubiquitous postoperatively and in an array of chronic systemic diseases. Recent studies indicate that such scarring has a high female propensity; females are also almost exclusively affected by endometriosis, a common sex steroid-dependent fibrotic disease. Endometriosis-related fibrosis
