Octenisept wound disinfection, 250 ml

Area of application

The Octenisept solution serves as an antiseptic for disinfection and supportive treatment of wounds.It effectively protects against infections in acute and chronic wounds as well as burn wounds on the skin and mucous membranes.It is also suitable for preparing skin and mucous membrane surfaces before diagnostic and surgical procedures.The alcohol-free solution is usually painless to use and is therefore also suitable for infants and premature babies.The solution is colorless.

Mode of action

The Octenisept solution is characterized by a broad spectrum of effectiveness.The onset of action is quick and lasts a long time.The antiseptic ingredient octenidine interacts with the structures in the shell of microorganisms and causes lasting damage to them.Phenoxyethanol supports the bactericidal properties of octenidine, which reliably eliminates bacteria, fungi and certain viruses on the skin and mucous membranes.

Active ingredients / ingredients / ingredients

100 g of Octenisept solution contains octenidine hydrochloride 0.1g and phenoxyethanol (Ph. Eur.) 2.0g as active ingredients.Other ingredients include: (3-coco fatty acid amidopropyl) dimethylazaniumyl acetate, sodium D-gluconate, glycerol 85%, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide and purified water.

Contraindications

If you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients, this product should not be used.The use of the solution as a rinse in the abdominal cavity, the urinary bladder and the eardrum is contraindicated.

Dosage

The Octenisept solution is applied to the area to be disinfected and should cover it completely and evenly.Leave the product to work for at least a minute and do not rinse with water.Further information can be found in the package leaflet.

Intake

The preparation is intended for superficial use and must not be introduced deep into the tissue.Carefully rub the area to be treated with at least two medicine-soaked swabs one after the other so that the wound is completely wetted.Before taking any further action, wait for the minimum exposure time of 1 to 2 minutes.Rinsing the oral cavity is possible, but should only be done if the entire oral cavity needs to be treated.Then use 20 ml over 20 seconds.To support the treatment of fungal diseases of the skin between the toes, the medicine should be sprayed onto the affected areas in the morning and evening.

Patient information

The medicine should not be swallowed in large quantities or enter the bloodstream.In order to prevent possible tissue damage, the preparation must not be introduced into the tissue under pressure.In the case of wound cavities, drainage must be guaranteed at all times, for example through a drainage or tab.

Pregnancy

Current experience with pregnant women does not indicate any risk.There are no sufficient animal experimental and clinical data on use during breastfeeding.Since octenidine dihydrochloride is not absorbed or only absorbed in very small amounts, it can be assumed that it does not pass into breast milk.Phenoxyethanol is quickly and practically completely absorbed and excreted almost quantitatively as an oxidation product via the kidneys.Accumulation in breast milk is therefore unlikely.

Notes

Do not use Octenisept solution together with PVP-iodine.No prescription is required for this product.
