Diaseptyl 0.5% Chlorhexidine, your 75-ml antiseptic spray solution for fast and safe disinfection of superficial wounds.
Diaseptyl 0.5% Chlorhexidine Spray 75 mL is a skin antiseptic in spray form, specially designed to disinfect the skin following an injury, scrape, abrasion, cut, or chickenpox blisters. This product contains 0.5% chlorhexidine, an antimicrobial agent known for its disinfectant and antiseptic properties.
Indications:
Diaseptyl 0.5% Chlorhexidine Spray 75 ml is an antiseptic containing chlorhexidine (antiseptic agents are not sterilizing: they temporarily reduce the number of microbes). It is recommended for the antisepsis of superficial and small wounds. Diaseptyl is particularly well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
Diaseptyl is specially formulated to act as an antimicrobial treatment, providing effective protection against skin infections. It is particularly recommended for superficial injuries such as scrapes, abrasions, cuts, or any other type of skin wound. Thanks to its chlorhexidine-based formulation, Diaseptyl disinfects the skin by eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, which helps prevent infections and promotes rapid and effective wound healing.
As a spray designed for wound antisepsis, Diaseptyl is specifically formulated to ensure optimal disinfection of small wounds. Its powerful antimicrobial action effectively eliminates pathogens present on the skin, thereby reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healthy healing process. Whether for small cuts, scrapes, or abrasions, Diaseptyl offers a safe and effective solution for disinfecting wounds and protecting the skin against infectious complications.
Diaseptyl can also be used to disinfect chickenpox blisters, helping to prevent infectious complications associated with this viral disease. By applying Diaseptyl to chickenpox blisters, it is possible to reduce the risk of secondary infection and speed up the healing process. Its antimicrobial action targets pathogens present on the skin, providing additional protection against potential infectious complications. When used properly, Diaseptyl can help ensure a faster and more comfortable recovery for patients with chickenpox.

Évitez l'usage prolongé de ce médicament, notamment chez l'enfant, sur des surfaces étendues ou profondément lésées, sans l'avis de votre médecin : risque de passage du médicament dans le sang.
Cet antiseptique ne convient pas pour la désinfection des ciseaux, rasoirs et autres objets potentiellement contaminants. De même, il ne doit pas être utilisé pour désinfecter la peau avant une piqûre.
En cas de contact accidentel avec les yeux, rincez rapidement et abondamment à l'eau courante. En effet, la chlorhexidine contenue dans ce médicament peut provoquer des lésions de la cornée. Si vous devez utiliser cette solution sur le visage, veillez absolument à ce que le produit ne puisse entrer en contact avec les yeux.
L'association à d'autres antiseptiques ou aux savons est déconseillée car leurs effets risquent de s'annuler.
Le passage de la chlorhexidine dans le sang après une application cutanée na pas été suffisamment étudié (notamment sur une peau lésée) pour que ce médicament puisse être utilisé chez la femme enceinte ou allaitante sans avis médical.
La solution est prête à l'emploi : elle est pulvérisée directement sur les plaies et ne doit pas être rincée.
2 applications par jour.
Lusage de cette solution est généralement ponctuel, mais peut être prolongé en fonction des indications et sur les conseils de votre pharmacien ou de votre médecin.
Le simple lavage à l'eau et au savon permet d'éliminer la majorité des germes ; il doit être suivi d'un rinçage soigneux car le savon peut inactiver certains antiseptiques.
Tous les antiseptiques peuvent être contaminés par des germes : veillez à ne pas mettre l'orifice du flacon en contact avec une compresse souillée et à bien le refermer après utilisation.
Le flacon de 75 ml peut être en accès libre dans certaines pharmacies ; néanmoins, n'hésitez pas à demander conseil à votre pharmacien
Fréquence indéterminée : eczéma de contact, réaction allergique grave qui nécessite l'arrêt des applications et un avis médical.
De plus, des cas de lésions de la cornée, parfois graves, ont été rapportés après contact accidentel d'une solution contenant de la chlorhexidine avec les yeux.
Action consistant à détruire les bactéries, les champignons microscopiques ou les virus présents notamment sur la peau, les muqueuses et les plaies.
L'action d'un antiseptique n'est pas toujours immédiate : un délai de quelques minutes est parfois nécessaire avant que les germes soient inactivés.
Substance qui détruit localement les bactéries, réduisant leur nombre et empêchant leur prolifération. Certains antiseptiques sont également actifs sur les champignons microscopiques et les virus.
Maladie de la peau se manifestant par des boutons et de vives démangeaisons. L'eczéma peut être dû au contact avec une substance allergisante (eczéma de contact) ou être lié à une prédisposition génétique (eczéma atopique).

La fréquence d'un effet indésirable est décrite dans les documents officiels de la manière suivante :
Tissu (membrane) qui tapisse les cavités et les conduits du corps communiquant avec l'extérieur (tube digestif, appareil respiratoire, voies urinaires, etc.).
Réaction due à l'hypersensibilité de l'organisme à un médicament. Les réactions allergiques peuvent prendre des aspects très variés : urticaire, œdème de Quincke, eczéma, éruption de boutons rappelant la rougeole, etc. Le choc anaphylactique est une réaction allergique généralisée qui provoque un malaise par chute brutale de la tension artérielle.

Fine membrane située au fond du conduit de l'oreille. Le tympan transmet les vibrations sonores aux organes responsables de l'audition. La pression des deux côtés du tympan doit être équilibrée pour un bon fonctionnement de celui-ci. Un excès de pression d'un seul côté peut entraîner une rupture du tympan responsable d'une surdité partielle.
