Jan Hašek
Lékárna Slovanka, Česká Lípa

Polihexanide is an antiseptic agent with a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, yeasts and some types of fungi. It is

a colorless and non-toxic substance which is very well tolerated by tissues and is not absorbed due to its polymer structure. The

main application of polihexanide is used in wound healing. This article informs about the properties and possibilities of using

polihexanide in the extemporaneous preparation in the pharmacies. For the preparation of drugs, polihexanide as a 20% solution

is newly available as a pharmaceutical substance. In addition to foreign standardized and non-standardized formulas are also

presented in the following article.
