Octenisept Farblos (Octenidine Dihydrochloride, Phenoxyethanol (Ph. Eur.))

Octenisept Farblos is an antiseptic that acts on a broad spectrum of microorganisms to prevent infection in various clinical contexts.

• Surgical site preparation: helps reduce microbial load before incision.
• Wound care: supports antiseptic management of acute and chronic wounds.
• Skin disinfection: used for pre‑procedural skin cleansing in catheter insertion and other invasive procedures.
• Mucosal decontamination: assists in reducing flora on oral and nasal mucosa prior to surgery.

• Octenidine dihydrochloride exerts its antiseptic effect by binding to bacterial cell membranes, disrupting membrane integrity and causing rapid leakage of intracellular contents. Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative and contributes additional broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity, together providing a sustained reduction of viable microbes on treated surfaces.

Adverse reactions to Octenisept Farblos are generally mild and related to local exposure.
