The constituents of suthol are:
Cetrimide Is a quaternary ammonium disinfectant and cationic surfactant.It dissociates in aqueous solution into a relatively large and complex cation and a small anion.
It has bactericidal activity against gram positive and at a higher concentration, against some gram negative organisms.
Solutions containing 1 to 3% cetrimide are used as shampoos to remove scales in seborrhea of the scalp [ dandruff problem]. Aqueous solutions containing 0.1 to 1% have been used for treatment of wounds and burns, for pre-operative cleansing of skin and for removal of scabs and crusts in skin disease.
Chlorhexidine Is an antiseptic that is active against gram positive and gram negative organisms.
It disrupts the plasma membrane of the bacterial cell, and the bacterial cellular contents are lost.
Chlorhexidine solutions leave a residue on the skin which gives a persistent anti bacterial effect lasting 1 or 2 days.
Its actions are not affected by blood, pus or soap.
