hexedine
Hexedine is a synthetic antiseptic agent that is commonly used in oral care products. It is a cationic bis-biguanide compound, which means it contains two biguanide groups. Hexedine is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as some fungi and viruses. It is believed to work by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane. Hexedine is often used in mouthwashes, gargles, and toothpastes to prevent and treat gingivitis, plaque buildup, and bad breath. Hexedine is also being investigated for its potential use in treating other infections, such as skin infections and wound infections.'
