Chlorhexidine gluconate is a disinfectant and antiseptic agent, commonly used to reduce bacteria in various settings. It's found in oral rinses for gingivitis treatment and as a skin disinfectant before surgeries or procedures involving catheters. It works by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, leading to cell death.
Chlorhexidine gluconate is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that works by binding to negatively charged bacterial cell walls, disrupting membrane integrity. At low concentrations, it is bacteriostatic, causing leakage of intracellular components, while at higher concentrations, it is bactericidal, leading to cell lysis. It is effective mainly against Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses.

Chlorhexidine gluconate disrupts bacterial cell membranes by binding to negatively charged sites, increasing permeability, and causing leakage of cellular contents. It is bacteriostatic at low concentrations and bactericidal at higher concentrations.
Common side effects include skin irritation, oral mucosal burning, tooth staining, and taste disturbances. Rare side effects include allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.
