description

action

Disinfectant bactericide-fungicide antiseptic characterized by:

It does not inactivate in the presence of organic matter.
Residual power for up to 48 hours (it persists longer in the stratum corneum).
Broad spectrum / Gram +, Gram-, enveloped viruses (herpes virus), funguses and spores, mycobacteria (bacteriostatic) .
Rapid action by contact.
 Mechanism of action: It causes a rupture of the plasmatic membrane due to an osmotic abnormality in it and by enzyme inhibition. At elevated concentrations, it precipitates proteins and microbial nucleic acids. Due to its cerumenolytic effect, propylenglycol permits a greater difussion of the antiseptic and, therefore, it begins to act faster.
