FAQs for Chlorhexidine Skin Prep
  • What is Chlorhexidine Gluconate Used For?

    Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial and disinfectant solution used to kill harmful bacteria and prevent infections on the skin, in the mouth, and for wound treatment. It is invaluable in hospitals, dental clinics, veterinary practices, and even for daily personal care. Top uses include: Preoperative & postoperative skin disinfection Antiseptic hand & skin cleanser Oral rinse for gingivitis, gum disease, and dental plaque Wound cleansing and infection prevention Pet skin and wound care (dogs/cats/animals) Household & surface disinfection

  • Is Chlorhexidine the Same as Hydrogen Peroxide?

    No. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a clinically proven antimicrobial antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent. While both kill bacteria, they have different mechanisms of action; chlorhexidine is preferred for skin and oral applications due to its residual efficacy and lower tissue irritation.

  • Can You Use Chlorhexidine on Open Wounds?

    Yes, Chlorhexidine Gluconate can be safely used on open wounds for wound cleaning and infection prevention. However, avoid contact with the eyes, ears, and brain tissue. Always follow a healthcare provider’s guidance.

  • How Long Does Chlorhexidine Gluconate Kill Bacteria on the Skin?

    It provides up to 24 hours of residual antibacterial protection, making it a superior choice for ongoing infection control.

  • What is Chlorhexidine Gluconate Used for in Dogs?

    Veterinarians prescribe Chlorhexidine Gluconate for topical wound care, hot spots, skin infections, dermatitis, and ear cleaning in dogs. It is highly effective in pet skin health management.

  • Why Would a Dentist Prescribe Chlorhexidine?

    Dentists recommend chlorhexidine mouthwash/rinse to treat gingivitis, reduce dental plaque, control gum bleeding, prevent periodontal (gum) disease, and promote post-surgical oral healing.

  • How Long Does It Take for Chlorhexidine Gluconate to Work?

    Chlorhexidine starts killing bacteria almost immediately after application—significant reduction in bacterial load occurs within 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

  • What is the Closest Thing to Chlorhexidine?

    Alternatives include Povidone-Iodine (Betadine) and Benzalkonium Chloride, but they lack the sustained action and broad-spectrum efficacy of Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

  • What is a Natural Alternative to Chlorhexidine?

    Natural options include salt water rinses, tea tree oil, and herbal mouthwashes (clove, neem), but none have proven clinical efficacy matching chlorhexidine.

  • Can I Use Salt Water Instead of Chlorhexidine?

    Salt water provides mild antibacterial effects and can aid healing, but it does not offer the same potent, long-lasting protection as Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

  • When Should You Not Use Chlorhexidine Gluconate?

    Do not use if you are allergic to chlorhexidine, or on deep wounds, sensitive mucous membranes, or in the eyes/ears. Avoid prolonged use unless directed by a healthcare professional.

  • What is Another Name for Chlorhexidine Gluconate?

    It is also known as CHG, Hibiclens, Peridex, Corsodyl, and Chlorhex.

  • What are the Side Effects of Chlorhexidine?

    Possible side effects include skin irritation, dryness, allergic reactions, staining of teeth (oral use), altered taste, and, rarely, severe allergic response.
