octenisept® solution, 500 ml

The octenisept® solution is a disinfectant for external use and for use on mucous membranes. Octenidine has a comprehensive germicidal effect. It is effective against bacteria, fungi and certain viruses.

The development of resistance of infectious agents to octenidine is not to be feared due to its mode of action.
