Picloxydine is a heterocyclic biguanide with antibacterial and antiplaque activity. 0.4% Picloxydine produces a highly significant drop in the number of aerobic organisms. 0.4% Picloxydine is far more effective than 0.2% Picloxydine or chlorhexidine in reducing the total viable count of oral aerobic and anaerobic organisms. It is used to treat superficial eye infections. Picloxydine is also used in eye drops in the topical therapy of trachoma. This drug can cause side effects - local intolerance reactions (temporary irritation, allergic reactions).
