General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.Chlorhexidine, the most popular antiseptic of biguanides, acts as a potential antimicrobial agent against several gram-positive and a few gram-negative bacteria. It is prescribed as a medicine for the prevention and treatment of the redness, swelling, and bleeding gums associated with gingivitis in humans.
