PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES




Pharmacotherapeutic group: Products for teats and udder, Disinfectants

Teat dips



5.1

Pharmacodynamic properties




Chlorhexidine is recognised as a broad spectrum biocide active against common mastitis causing bacteria. The mode of action involves rapid attraction to the bacterial cell wall and absorption to phosphate compounds on the bacterial surface



5.2

Pharmacokinetic properties




Because of its cationic nature, chlorhexidine bonds strongly to skin and mucosa. It is therefore poorly absorbed after oral or topical application.

Chlorhexidine is of low toxicity. Residues in milk from use as a teat dip or spray have been demonstrated to be low
