  Chlorhexidine gluconate is a bisguanide germicide currently available with 70% isopropanol ( Hibistat, Hibitane ) or a detergent ( Hibiclens , Hibiscrub ) for preoperative skin preparation.
  Usage of Chlorhexidine :
1、Chlorhexidine  is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash designed to reduce dental plaque and oral bacteria. Chlorhexidine can thus be used to improve bad breath.
2、Chlorhexidine is also used in non-dental applications, it is used for general skin cleansing, a surgical scrub, and a pre-operative skin preparation.It is also often used as a rubbing agent prior to the use of hypodermic or intravenous needles in place of iodine. 
3、For use in animals, it is used as a topical disinfectant of wounds. It is more effective in killing bacteria (bactericidal) than both povidone-iodine and saline, and has residual effects up to 6 hours.
4、Chlorhexidine is deactivated by anionic compounds, including the anionic surfactants commonly used as detergents in toothpastes and mouthwashes.

It is reported in EPA TSCA Inventory.

Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl⁻ and NO_x.
