This combination hand rub is indicated for:

• A rapid-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial preparation used to disinfect clean hands of doctors, nurses, and healthcare personnel before surgical procedures or after handling contaminated materials
• Disinfection of surgical instruments
• Disinfection of skin prior to surgery or other invasive procedures
• Disinfection of wound dressings

This preparation contains:

• 0.5% w/v Chlorhexidine Gluconate (equivalent to 2.5% v/v Chlorhexidine Gluconate solution BP)
• 70% v/v Isopropyl Alcohol BP

At physiological pH, chlorhexidine salts dissociate to release positively charged chlorhexidine cations. These cations bind to negatively charged bacterial cell walls, producing a bactericidal effect. At lower concentrations, chlorhexidine exhibits a bacteriostatic effect, while at higher concentrations it disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, leading to cell death.

• To disinfect clean hand; contaminated materials: Take essential amount (Almost 3 ml) on hand and scrub both hands' full surface area until it is dried.
• To disinfect surgical instruments: Take essential amount (Almost 5 ml) in a clean pot and immerse instruments in it for 2 minutes.
• To disinfect skin prior to surgery or other invasive procedures: Take essential amount (Almost 3 ml) with cotton and scrub it on the skin until it is dried.
• To disinfect wound/wound dressing: Take essential amount (Almost 3 ml) with cotton and scrub it on the wound until it is dried.

Chlorhexidine is incompatible with soaps and other anionic substances. Hypochlorite bleaches may cause brown discoloration on fabrics that have previously been exposed to chlorhexidine solutions.
