Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the active ingredient in Aspen Chlorhexidine Solution 2%?
Ans: The active ingredient is Chlorhexidine Gluconate at a 2% w/v concentration. It is described on the label as an antiseptic and antimicrobial disinfectant providing fast-acting activity against a wide range of microorganisms, especially those commonly found on the skin surface.
Q2: Which animals is this solution labeled for?
Ans: According to the official DailyMed-listed label, the solution is intended as a topical aqueous cleaning agent for use on horses and dogs. It is applied to superficial cuts, abrasions, or insect stings as part of routine wound cleansing care.
Q3: How should the solution be diluted before use?
Ans: The Aspen label instructs adding 1 ounce, equivalent to 2 tablespoons, of the chlorhexidine gluconate solution per gallon of clean water. The diluted preparation is then used to rinse the affected skin area before wiping away the excess.
Q4: What is the difference between this solution and the Chloradine Scrub?
Ans: The solution is a topical liquid designed to be diluted and used for rinsing wounds and skin. The scrub version is a lathering cleanser used with water for surgical-style scrubbing. Both contain chlorhexidine gluconate but serve different application methods.
Q5: Can the solution be applied inside the ears?
Ans: No. The manufacturer explicitly states the product is not to be used in ears. If accidental contact occurs with the ear canal, flush the area immediately and thoroughly with clean water and consult a veterinarian if irritation continues.
Q6: What microorganisms does chlorhexidine gluconate target?
Ans: Per Aspen's label, the solution provides antiseptic and antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, ringworm, and yeast that commonly infect the skin. The non-toxic, non-irritating profile makes it suitable for routine cleansing of superficial skin conditions in horses and dogs.
Q7: Does the product require a veterinary prescription?
Ans: According to the DailyMed listing for NDC 46066-141-01, the product is classified as an OTC animal drug label and does not require a prescription. Veterinary guidance is still recommended for wounds that appear infected, deep, or slow to heal.
Q8: How should the bottle be stored after opening?
Ans: Store at controlled room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Keep the container tightly closed when not in active use, which helps preserve product integrity and protects the remaining solution from contamination during storage between applications.
Q9: What should be done after rinsing the wound area?
Ans: After rinsing the area with the diluted solution, wipe away any excess gently and pat the skin dry using a sterile gauze pad or clean sponge. This finishing step helps keep the cleansed area dry and ready for further wound care if needed.
Q10: What happens if the solution gets in the eyes?
Ans: The label directs avoiding contact with the eyes and mucous membranes during use. If contact occurs, flush the eye immediately and thoroughly with clean water. Contact a physician or veterinary professional afterward if any irritation, redness, or discomfort continues following the rinse.
