Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic and disinfectant commonly used for skin disinfection, oral rinses, and preoperative cleaning. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Chlorhexidine remains a widely used and approved topical antiseptic today.
Pharmacokinetics
No published pharmacokinetic model parameters for systemic use in humans; parameters below are estimated or not applicable, as chlorhexidine is used topically or as an oral rinse and systemic absorption is minimal.
