4.4     Special warnings and precautions for use
For external use only.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Do not use in body cavities.

The use of chlorhexidine solutions, both alcohol based and aqueous, for skin antisepsis prior to invasive procedures has been associated with chemical burns in neonates. Based on available case reports and the published literature, this risk appears to be higher in preterm infants, especially those born before 32 weeks of gestation and within the first 2 weeks of life.

Remove any soaked materials, drapes or gowns before proceeding with the intervention.
Do not use excessive quantities and do not allow the solution to pool in skin folds or under the patient or drip on sheets or other material in direct contact with the patient.
Where occlusive dressings are to be applied to areas previously exposed to Septal Scrub, care must be taken to ensure no excess product is present prior to application of the dressing.

Septal Scrub must not come into contact with the eye. Serious cases of persistent corneal injury, potentially requiring corneal transplant, were reported following accidental ocular exposure to chlorhexidine containing medicinal products despite taking eye protective measure due to migration of solution beyond the intended surgical preparation area.
Extreme care must be taken during application to ensure that Septal Scrub does not migrate beyond its intended application site into the eyes. Particular careshould be taken in anaesthetised patients, who are unable to immediately report ocular exposure. If Septal Scrub comes into contact with the eyes, wash out promptly and thoroughly with water. An ophthalmologist’s advice should be sought.
