Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Chlorhexidine belongs to the "topical antiseptic / antibacterial" category. This antiseptic is applied locally to reduce micro-organisms and prevent infection of a wound or a mucous membrane.
In the case of Chlorhexidine, this means: Disinfects the skin or mucous membranes. It is used rather occasionally or as a short course, to get through an episode.

Do you need a supplement? No.
For Chlorhexidine, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation has any serious justification to set against this treatment, and we prefer to say so rather than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; beyond these, we sell nothing for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five references.
