Cetalkonium chloride is a cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant, which is used for the treatment of mouth ulcers and sores (Bonjela trade name). It is also serves as an excipient for the purpose of long-term stabilization of ciclosporin ocular formulation, used in patients with dry eye syndrom (Ikervis trade name). The antibacterial properties of cetalkonium can be explained by its detergent character. Once applied, cetalkonium blocks the survival of biofilm forming bacterias.

Sample Use Guides

Massage one centimetre of the topical formulation (Bonjela) onto the affected area (mouth ulcers and sores) and leave at least 30 min in case of denture sores. In dry eye disease, the recommended dose is one drop of the ocular formulation (Ikervis) once daily to be applied to the affected eye(s) at bedtime.
Route of Administration: Other
Corneal human cells were treated with 0.005% cetalkonium chloride cationic oil-inwater nanoemulsion for 30 min. The emulsion was able to increase the pace of healing, as measured by the reduction of the size of the scraped area.
