Manusept Basic (Ethanol 99%)

Ethanol kills microorganisms by denaturing their proteins and disrupting the lipid membranes that surround cells. This rapid action leads to loss of cell integrity and swift death of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on the skin or surfaces where it is applied.

The amount of Manusept Basic applied is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific indication, size of the area to be treated, and patient factors. No fixed dosing regimen is provided; the prescriber sets the appropriate volume.

Safety data for ethanol‑based antiseptics in pregnancy and lactation are limited. While topical use on small skin areas is generally considered low risk, clinicians should evaluate the benefit‑risk balance for each patient and may prefer alternative agents when uncertainty exists.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity of Manusept Basic. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Manusept Basic offers rapid, broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity due to its high‑concentration ethanol. Compared with chlorhexidine or povidone‑iodine, ethanol provides faster drying time and no residue, but it lacks persistent activity and may be more irritating on sensitive skin. Choice depends on clinical needs and patient tolerance.

Manusept Basic should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and protect it from ignition sources because ethanol is highly flammable. Ensure the product is kept out of reach of children.

Manusept Basic is applied topically to the skin using a sterile gauze, cotton swab, or directly from the container, depending on the size of the area. The skin should be cleaned, and the product spread evenly, allowing it to air‑dry before proceeding with the procedure.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, chemical burns if applied to large or compromised skin areas, and systemic ethanol toxicity from extensive absorption. Immediate medical attention is required if any signs of severe reaction or toxicity appear.

Manusept Basic should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ethanol, on extensive broken or inflamed skin, in the presence of open wounds larger than a small superficial abrasion, and in settings where fire hazards exist due to its flammability.
