✔️ Pharmacology

Chlorhexidine is a potent cationic chemopreventive agent with a wide antibacterial action against gm + ve and gmve pathogens. It is both bacteriostatic and antibacterial depending on the quantity. The interaction of cations with negatively charged bacterium cell walls and microbial compounds results in the bactericidal impact in high quantities. The antibacterial impact is obtained at low concentrations, resulting in alterations in the osmotic equilibrium of bacterial cells and potassium and phosphorus leakage.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Hexisol Hand Rub

Pre-operative Surgical Hand Disinfection: 

• Spread 5ml of solution evenly over both palms and wrists, rubbing firmly. When dry, add 5ml more and repeat the process.
  Antiseptic hand disinfection on the ward:
