What are the brands available for Chlorhexidine + Cetrimide in Thailand?
Description: Mechanism of Action: Chlorhexidine is a cationic bisbiguanide antiseptic which exerts its bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms by binding cationic molecules to negatively charged bacterial cell walls and extramicrobial complexes leading to precipitation of cytoplasmic contents of bacterial cell wall which results in cell death. At low concentrations, it acts as a bacteriostatic by alteration of bacterial cell osmotic equilibrium and leakage of potassium and phosphorus.
Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium antiseptic with bactericidal action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative (at higher concentrations) bacteria, but ineffective against bacterial spores. It is effective against some viruses and has variable antifungal activity. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Poorly absorbed from the skin.
