1. What is Hibitane and what is it used for

The active ingredients of this medication work by combining the antiseptic and disinfectant action of chlorhexidine with the local anesthetic action of benzocaine.

2. What you need to know before taking Hibitane

N

A

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Hibitane:

  • If you do not tolerate other local anesthetics such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), parabens, or paraphenylenediamine (a hair dye component).
  • If you have any serious or extensive injury in the mouth.
  • If you have periodontitis (gum disease), because chlorhexidine may cause an increase in supragingival calculus.
  • Do not take higher doses than recommended in section 3. (How to take Hibitane).

It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene to reduce the accumulation of tartar and possible tooth discoloration that may be caused by chlorhexidine.

Oibitane

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to take any other medication.

Although they are not described in the recommended conditions of use, this medication should not be used with other medications for mouth application without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

Medication interactions can be especially important with:

  • Other mouth or throat antiseptics.
  • Cholinesterase inhibitor medications (medications for Alzheimer's disease).
  • Sulfonamides (used for infections).

Anionic compounds and suspending agents, common components of toothpastes, reduce the effectiveness of chlorhexidine, so the mouth should be rinsed well after using toothpaste.
