Customers benefit from consistent product availability, comprehensive regulatory support, and responsive technical assistance throughout the supply chain.

Neoxene, a chlorhexidine‑based antiseptic, acts on the vaginal microbial environment to reduce colonisation and infection risk.

- Vaginal antisepsis: reduces microbial load on the vaginal mucosa, supporting hygiene before examinations or procedures. - Prevention of bacterial vaginosis: helps maintain a balanced vaginal flora, lowering the chance of overgrowth. - Pre‑operative vaginal preparation: used to cleanse the vagina prior to surgical or diagnostic interventions.

Chlorhexidine gluconate may cause local reactions when applied vaginally, ranging from mild irritation to rare severe events.

Common Side Effects: - Local irritation: mild burning or stinging sensation at the application site. - Vaginal discharge: temporary increase in watery or white discharge. - Itching: mild pruritus of the vulvar area. - Dryness: sensation of dryness or tightness in the vagina.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing indicating possible hypersensitivity. - Severe irritation: intense pain, ulceration, or necrosis of vaginal tissue. - Systemic absorption: rare cases of dizziness or headache.

When using Neoxene, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective application. - Avoid use in active vaginal infections: may exacerbate irritation. - Do not apply on damaged mucosa: increased absorption risk. - Limit duration: prolonged use can disrupt normal flora. - Consult healthcare professional if symptoms persist beyond 7 days. - Store at below 25°C: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Chlorhexidine gluconate can interact with certain products and medications, affecting its efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anionic surfactants (e.g., soaps, shampoos): inactivate chlorhexidine, reducing antiseptic activity. - Alcohol‑based vaginal products: may cause excessive irritation when combined. - Copper‑containing intrauterine devices: potential chemical incompatibility.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Other topical antiseptics: concurrent use may increase local irritation. - Systemic antibiotics: may mask signs of infection, requiring clinical monitoring. - Hormonal contraceptives: no direct interaction but monitor for unusual vaginal symptoms.
