Hexetidine is very safe oral antiseptic with broad antibacterial and antifungal activity in vivo and in vitro. It has local-anesthetics, astringent and deodorant activity. Also, it has very strong antiplac effects. Resistention of microorganisms on hexetidine is short and transient. These characteristics give important therapeutic role in treatment of oral infections. In the UK, hexetidine is the active ingredient in the medicated mouthwash branded Oraldene. Oraldene contains 0.1 g/100 ml of hexetidine. In Germany, hexetidine is used for vaginal antisepsis.
