Chlorhexidine can interact with certain substances; consider the following guidance.

Avoid: - Concurrent use with topical anesthetics containing ester‑type agents (e.g., benzocaine) that may increase irritation. - Application over products containing iodine or other antiseptics, which can reduce efficacy. - Use with alcohol‑based hand rubs on the same area without adequate drying time.

Use with caution: - Combination with wound dressings containing silver or other antimicrobial agents; monitor for increased skin sensitivity. - Use in patients receiving systemic antibiotics; no known pharmacokinetic interaction but monitor for overlapping allergic potential. - Application before procedures involving latex gloves; chlorhexidine residues may affect glove integrity.
