Description

• General description: Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Chlorhexidine, the most popular antiseptic of biguanides, acts as a potential antimicrobial agent against several gram-positive and a few gram-negative bacteria. It is prescribed as a medicine for the prevention and treatment of the redness, swelling, and bleeding gums associated with gingivitis in humans.

Other applications of chlorhexidine include its use as the component of shampoos, ointments, skin and wound cleansers etc.[1]
