Composition
Active ingredient: The solution contains Chlorhexidine digluconate in a concentration of 1%, an ingredient known for its strong antimicrobial activity. Chlorhexidine works by denaturing the cellular proteins of microbial membranes and thus causing the death of bacteria, fungi and yeasts. In addition to the active ingredient, LH Chlorhexidine is formulated with purified water and stabilizers which guarantee the full effectiveness of the product over time. Being free of aggressive solvents, ammonia or alcohol, the solution is easy to handle and safe for operators and animals. The composition has been designed to offer stability, constant effectiveness and a pH compatible with the most delicate surfaces, thus avoiding the risk of deterioration of the treated material or the formation of marks and residues after drying.
The added stabilizers allow the properties of Chlorhexidine to be preserved intact throughout the entire use cycle of the bottle, thus guaranteeing continuous and uniform protection. The balanced formula does not contain perfumes or dyes that could be annoying for animals or alter olfactory perception. This choice allows for greater acceptance by the animals themselves and makes the product also suitable for the domestic environment, where the well-being and safety of animals is always a priority. All components are pharmaceutical grade, carefully selected to ensure maximum tolerability and reduce the risk of allergic or unwanted reactions.
Contraindications
LH Chlorhexidine 1 Liter should not be used in case of known hypersensitivity or allergy to Chlorhexidine digluconate or to any of the excipients present in the formulation. The use of the product directly on animals or on open wounds, mucous membranes or ulcerated areas is not recommended, as the solution is specifically designed for the disinfection of surfaces and environments. Improper or excessive use could lead to skin sensitization, dermatitis or other local reactions in particularly predisposed subjects. In the presence of suspected symptoms related to the use of the product, such as skin redness, itching or irritation of the respiratory tract, it is advisable to immediately suspend use and consult a doctor or veterinarian, clearing the environment of any residue of the solution.
It is suggested to avoid the simultaneous use of other disinfectants that are not compatible with Chlorhexidine, so as not to jeopardize its antimicrobial activity or cause unwanted reactions between different chemical residues. Inhalation of vapors or prolonged contact of the solution with human skin should be avoided, especially in people with a history of allergies or respiratory disorders. In case of accidental contact with the eyes or ingestion, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly with water and, if necessary, promptly consult a doctor. The product must not be used for uses other than those foreseen in the instructions and is intended exclusively for external and environmental use.
Safety of the drug for the species
The use of LH Chlorhexidine 1 Liter is safe for the environment and for animals if used scrupulously following the recommended methods of use. The risk of toxicity for pets and operators is extremely low, especially thanks to the absence of alcohol, aggressive solvents and irritating substances. The ready-to-use solution reduces handling and the risk of dosing errors, further helping to ensure safety during preparation and application. However, it is recommended to avoid direct exposure of animals immediately after applying the product to the surfaces, waiting for complete drying before they can come into contact with them.
Despite the low toxicity, in case of accidental ingestion of significant quantities of solution it is necessary to monitor the animals for any signs of gastrointestinal discomfort or adverse reactions, contacting the veterinarian in case of persistent symptoms. No cross-reactions have been reported with most other environmental disinfectants, but it is recommended to still follow the specified precautions.
