Hexachlorophene is used as a surgical hand scrub and a bacteriostatic skin cleanser. Topical preparations containing hexachlorophene have been used by physicians, dentists, food handlers, pediatric nurses, and other individuals who are in a position to spread contaminants from their hands. Efficacy of hexachlorophene as a topical antiseptic depends on residual amounts of the drug being adsorbed onto the skin. Hexachlorophene is most effective after repeated daily application and may be ineffective in reducing cutaneous flora if used in a single, brief application.

Hexachlorophene has been used topically to suppress staphylococcal infections in patients with acne vulgaris. However, hexachlorophene is not active against Propionibacterium acnes and is of no additional benefit in individuals using topical benzoyl peroxide or topical tetracycline, clindamycin, or erythromycin.

/SRP: Former use/ The use of hexachlorophene in the nursery has diminished sharply since discovery that daily bathing of neonates with 3% hexachlorophene emulsion could result in serious neurotoxicity. In hospitals in which ... /it/ is still used, the practice is to employ low concn (0.25%), which is less effective than 3%, or delay hexachlorophene bath until the 3rd day. Sometimes only the umbilical stump ... is bathed. The practice of subsequently rinsing off hexachlorophene residue with an alcohol or bathing the neonate with nonmedicated soap, in order to prevent absorption of hexachlorophene through the skin, defeats original purpose of use of antiseptic. ... Chlorhexidine ... is a more rational choice of antiseptic ... .

Hexachlorophene should not be used routinely for prophylactic total body bathing. After use of hexachlorophene, the area, especially sensitive areas such as the scrotum and perineum, should be rinsed thoroughly. If hexachlorophene inadvertently gets into the eyes, the eyes should be flushed promptly and thoroughly with water.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3535
Because of the possibility of rapid and extensive absorption of hexachlorophene, preparations containing the drug should not be used on burned or denuded skin or mucous membranes and should not be used as and/or with occlusive dressings, wet packs, lotions, vaginal packs, or tampons. In addition, hexachlorophene preparations should not be applied to generalized dermatologic conditions (e.g., lesions of ichthyosis congenita, dermatitis of Letterer-Siwe's syndrome).
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3535
Hexachlorophene should not be used in individuals sensitive to the drug or any ingredient in the formulation. Because of the possibility of cross-sensitivity, hexachlorophene should not be used in individuals who have demonstrated primary light sensitivity to halogenated phenol derivatives.

The lethal dose in adults after acute ingestion or repeated skin application is not well defined but is estimated to be 43 mg/kg or 1 to 10 g.

For use as a surgical scrub and a bacteriostatic skin cleanser. It may also be used to control an outbreak of gram-positive infection where other infection control procedures have been unsuccessful.
Hexachlorophene, a detergent cleanser, is an antibacterial sudsing emulsion for topical administration. It is a bacteriostatic cleansing agent. It cleanses the skin thoroughly and has bacteriostatic action against staphylococci and other gram-positive bacteria. Cumulative antibacterial action develops with repeated use. Cleansing with alcohol or soaps containing alcohol removes the antibacterial residue.

Absorption
Detectable blood levels of hexachlorophene following absorption through intact skin have been found in subjects who regularly scrubbed with hexachlorophene.
Hexachlorophene is absorbed systemically (percutaneously) following topical application to the skin. In one study, approximately 3% of a dose of hexachlorophene (in acetone) applied to the skin was absorbed systemically. Serum concentrations of hexachlorophene ranging from 0.009-4.35ug/mL have been reported in neonates bathed daily in hexachlorophene preparations for 1-56 days; highest concentrations occurred in low birthweight infants and infants with abraded or erythematous skin. In adults, 3-4 weeks of daily total body bathing with a 3% hexachlorophene preparation reportedly results in serum concentrations of the drug as high as 1.42 ug/mL. Hexachlorophene serum concentrations of 0.5 mcg/mL or higher have been reported following use of a 3% hexachlorophene preparation as a surgical scrub for hands and forearms 5 times daily for 10 days. In animals, characteristic changes in the CNS associated with hexachlorophene toxicity occur at serum drug concentrations of about 1 ug/mL or greater.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3536
Following topical application to intact skin, hexachlorophene is adsorbed onto the outer layers of skin. Repeated daily application of hexachlorophene results in a residual of the drug being retained on the skin for several days. One study using radiolabeled hexachlorophene indicated that the drug accumulates on the skin during the first 3 or 4 days of repeated use, but the concentration on skin remains relatively constant thereafter. Residual hexachlorophene is retained on the skin for several days after discontinuance of the drug or may be removed by cleansing with non-hexachlorophene-containing soaps or detergents or ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2011; Drug Information 2011. Bethesda, MD. 2011, p. 3536
Hexachlorophene is absorbed from the GI tract and from intact and denuded skin. Rapid absorption of hexachlorophene may occur following topical application to burned or inflamed skin.

The primary mechanism of action of hexachlorophene, based on studies with Bacillus megatherium, is to inhibit the membrane-bound part of the electron transport chain, respiratory D-lactate dehydrogenase. It induces leakage, causes protoplast lysis, and inhibits respiration.

Brain succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity was inhibited by in vitro hexachlorophene (HCP) with a half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.65 x 10(-3) M. The HCP exerted noncompetitive inhibition at 0.5 mM (

Although the exact mechanism(s) of action has not been determined, at low concentrations, hexachlorophene appears to interrupt bacterial electron transport and to inhibit other membrane-bound enzymes. Higher concentrations rupture bacterial membranes.
