Development of medicated aerosol dressings of chlorhexidine acetate with hemostatics

Pharmazie. 1992 Dec;47(12):924-6.

Abstract

Aerosol formulations to act as medicated aerosol dressings have been prepared with an aim of forming a protective film over the wound after spraying combining the properties of antiseptics and hemostatics. Chlorhexidine acetate along with three hemostatics namely zinc acetate, methyl cellulose and Calendula tincture were used for the formulations. The formulations were found to be satisfactory in their performance and purpose.
