Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Kevartia Work?

Chlorhexidine gluconate works by disrupting the cell membrane of bacteria and other microorganisms, leading to cell lysis and death. It binds to the surfaces of skin and mucous membranes, providing a persistent antimicrobial effect. This allows it to continue working even after initial application, making it effective for preventing infections in wounds, during surgical procedures, and in oral care.

Common Dosages

  • For skin disinfection: Apply a sufficient amount of chlorhexidine solution to cover the area, usually prior to surgical procedures.
  • For oral rinse: Typically, use 15 mL of the solution twice daily, swishing it around the mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.

Typical Dosing

  • For surgical skin preparation: Apply chlorhexidine gluconate solution liberally to the skin before the procedure, allowing it to dry completely.
  • For oral hygiene: Use the prescribed mouth rinse twice daily for 2 weeks or as directed by a healthcare provider.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Preoperative skin disinfection
  • Postoperative wound care
  • Oral rinse for the treatment of gingivitis
  • Management of skin infections and abrasions

Who Shouldn't Take Kevartia?

  • Known hypersensitivity or allergy to chlorhexidine gluconate or any components of the formulation.
  • Open wounds or deep tissue infections unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
  • Meningeal exposure, as chlorhexidine may cause neurotoxicity if it enters the central nervous system.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Follow the application instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the product label closely.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • For oral use, do not swallow the solution; use it only as a rinse and spit it out.
  • Do not mix with other mouthwashes or oral rinses, as this can affect its effectiveness.
  • Store Kevartia at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
