Obstetric Care Lotion 200g

Obstetric Care Lotion 200g – Chlorhexidine Gluconate 1% – is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It is effective against a wide range of vegetative Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, some viruses and some fungi. The lotion is ineffective against bacterial spores at room temperature, and acid-fast bacteria are inhibited but not killed. It is more active against Gram-positive than Gram-negative bacteria and some species of Pseudomonas and Proteus are relatively less susceptible. Chlorhexidine is most active at a neutral or slightly acid pH and its activity may be reduced by blood and other organic matter.
