1. What Normosept is and what it is used for
Normosept is a cutaneous antiseptic whose active ingredient is chlorhexidine digluconate. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic applied to the skin.
Normosept is indicated as an antiseptic for small superficial wounds such as minor burns, scratches, cuts, and abrasions in adults, adolescents, children, and babies from 2 months of age or older.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Normosept
Do not use Normosept:
- If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to chlorhexidine digluconate or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
- In the ears, especially if the eardrum is damaged.
Warnings and Precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Normosept.
- This medication is for external use on the skin only. Do not ingest.
- Do not spray on the eyes, ears, or inside the mouth or other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact with eyes or ears, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Avoid contact with the brain, meninges (membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord), and middle ear.
- Normosept should not come into contact with the eyes due to the risk of visual damage. If it comes into contact with the eyes, wash immediately and abundantly with water. In cases of irritation, redness, or pain in the eyes, or visual disturbances, consult a doctor immediately.
- Severe cases of persistent corneal injury (injury to the surface of the eye) that may require a corneal transplant have been reported when similar products have accidentally come into contact with the eyes during surgical interventions, in patients under general anesthesia (induced deep sleep).
- It should not be used in the case of deep and extensive wounds without consulting a doctor.
- It should not be applied repeatedly, nor used on large surfaces, with occlusive dressing (non-permeable), on damaged skin, and on mucous membranes.
- It should not be used for the asepsis of puncture or injection areas, nor for the disinfection of surgical equipment.
- Do not use excessive amounts, and do not allow the solution to accumulate in skin folds or under the patient or drip onto sheets or other materials in direct contact with the patient.
Children
- Consult with your doctor before using in children under 30 months. The use in children from 2 months to under 30 months will be done exclusively under medical supervision for safety reasons.
- Chlorhexidine should not be used in children under 2 months of age for safety reasons.
Using Normosept withother medications
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.
- The use of several antiseptics at the same time or successively should be avoided.
- It should not be used in combination or after the application of anionic soaps, acids, heavy metal salts, and iodine. If the wound is cleaned with any of these products, the skin should be rinsed well after cleaning.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
There are no known risks associated with the use of Normosept during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is unknown whether chlorhexidine digluconate or any of its metabolites are excreted in breast milk. No effects are expected during pregnancy, in newborns, or in breastfed infants, as systemic exposure to chlorhexidine is negligible. Normosept can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Breastfeeding women should avoid using it on their breasts.
