This formulation combines Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% and Clindamycin Phosphate 1.2% in a topical wash. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a powerful antiseptic known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It works by disrupting the cell walls of bacteria, leading to their death and thus preventing infection. Clindamycin Phosphate, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria by interfering with their protein synthesis. This dual-action formulation is designed to provide comprehensive skin cleansing while also treating a variety of skin conditions.
The Clindamycin component reduces the number of acne-causing bacteria, while the Chlorhexidine Gluconate helps to cleanse the skin and prevent further bacterial growth. This formulation can also be used to treat other bacterial skin infections, such as folliculitis and impetigo, as well as prevent infections in wounds or minor cuts.
Patients using this formulation should apply it to the affected area as directed by their healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily. It's important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Some common side effects may include dryness, itching, burning, or redness at the application site. If these persist or worsen, patients should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Prescribers should note that this formulation may not be suitable for all patients, particularly those with a history of hypersensitivity to Chlorhexidine Gluconate or Clindamycin. It's also not recommended for use in children under the age of 12 unless directed by a healthcare provider. As with all antibiotics, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, requiring discontinuation of treatment.

If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.
