Savavet Chlorhex (Chlorhexidine Gluconate 4% w/v) Antibacterial Antiseptic Spray for Dogs & Cats (100ml)

Active Composition & Pharmacological Action

• Active Ingredient: Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution IP equivalent to Chlorhexidine Gluconate 4% w/v.

• Base: Aqueous, soothing, non-alcoholic topical spray base q.s.

• Therapeutic Class: Topical Bisbiguanide Antiseptic & Antibacterial.

• Mechanism of Action: Chlorhexidine possesses a strong positive cationic charge that binds directly to the negatively charged phospholipids of bacterial cell walls. This electrostatic interaction destabilizes the cell membrane, creating pores that cause leakage of essential intracellular components (ATP and potassium) and precipitation of bacterial proteins, resulting in rapid bactericidal death.

Step-by-Step Directions for Use

1. Clean the Area: Gently rinse loose debris, dirt, or dried exudate from the wound site using sterile saline or clean lukewarm water, and pat dry with sterile gauze. If thick hair obscures the wound or hot spot, carefully clip around the margin.

2. Shake Well: Shake the bottle thoroughly before each application.

4. Air-Dry: Allow the solution to dry naturally. Do not rinse or rub off.

5. Prevent Licking: Distract your pet for 10 to 15 minutes with a treat, chew toy, or brief walk while the area dries. Use an Elizabethan collar if your pet persists in licking the wound.

6. Application Frequency: Apply 1 to 2 times daily, or as directed by your veterinarian, until the skin is fully healed.
