Chlorhexidine Gluconate (1% w/w)
Active composition
Chlorhexidine Gluconate disrupts bacterial cell membranes and precipitates cellular components, leading to cell death and inhibition of bacterial growth.
Medical applications
Hexigel Mouth Gel contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate 1% w/w, an effective antiseptic agent widely used in oral healthcare for the management and prevention of gingivitis, periodontitis, and other oral infections. Chlorhexidine exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi, by disrupting microbial cell membranes and precipitating cellular contents. Hexigel is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the oral mucosa, including plaque-induced gingivitis, and as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control measures such as brushing and flossing. It is also beneficial in reducing oral microbial load following dental surgeries or procedures, thereby promoting healing and preventing secondary infections. The gel formulation ensures prolonged contact with oral tissues, enhancing its therapeutic efficacy. Hexigel should be applied topically to the affected area, typically twice daily, preferably after oral hygiene practices. Patients should avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes post-application to maximize effectiveness. Common side effects may include transient staining of teeth and tongue, altered taste sensation, and mild oral irritation. Hexigel Mouth Gel is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine or any excipients. Use under professional guidance is recommended to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize adverse effects.
