Clinical Information

Indication DetailsView
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 7.1% Solution is indicated for prophylaxis of omphalitis (infection of the umbilical cord) in newborn.
Therapeutic ClassView
Bleaching and Disinfectants
PharmacologyView
Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum biocide effective against Gram-positive bacteria, Gramnegative bacteria and fungi. It has both bacteriostatic and bactericidal action, depending on its concentration. Chlorhexidine kills by disrupting the cell membrane. Upon application in vitro, Chlorhexidine can kill nearly 100% of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria within 30 seconds. Since Chlorhexidine formulations can destroy the majority of categories of microbes, there is limited risk for the development of opportunistic infections.

Chlorhexidine is cationic in nature and binds strongly to skin. Data relating to topical administration in neonates are limited. There are no data on metabolism of Chlorhexidine following topical administration.
DosageView
Immediately after cutting the cord, 7.1% Chlorhexidine Gluconate should be applied to the tip of the cord, the stump and around the base of the stump.
AdministrationView
Chlorhexidine ব্যবহারের পূর্বে ও পরে হাত ভালো করে সাবান ও পানি দিয়ে ধুয়ে ফেলুন। Chlorhexidine এর ড্রপার বোতল চেপে সলিউশনটি নবজাতকের জন্মের পরপর কাটা নাড়ীর অগ্রভাগ, চারপাশ ও গোড়ায় এমনভাবে লাগান যেন সম্পূর্ণ নাড়ীটি ভালো ভাবে ভিজে যায়। Chlorhexidine লাগানোর পর নাড়ী কোন কিছু দিয়ে মুছবেন না। একবার Chlorhexidine লাগানোর পর নাড়ী শুষ্ক রাখুন ও নাড়ীতে অন্য কোন কিছুই লাগাবেন না। চোখে লাগাবেন না।

There have been reports of hypersensitivity and skin irritation after topical administration of Chlorhexidine, including generalized allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock. The prevalence of Chlorhexidine hypersensitivity is not known, but available literature suggests this is likely to be very rare. The application of this product should be discontinued and immediate medical help should be sought in case of any symptoms which may indicate an allergic reaction.
