Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / June 2006polyhexanide safe?
Hi all, I have constantly suffered with sinus problems. Made worse after having my nose broken. I have managed to control my symptoms with irrigation. I usually use preservative free saline or make my own using pint of water to table spoon of salt. However, I have a large quantity of saline with 0.00001% polyhexanide anyone any idea if this is safe ? thanks in advance Simon > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Simon http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9 888165&dopt=Abstract Interesting, I would have thought it was safer as it is used to clean my contact lenses...

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9 888165&dopt=Abstract I have no idea whether irrigating with dilute polyhexanide would be safe or not. For a while I'd been wondering if irrigating using diluted chlorhexadine would help serious sinus infections. While perusing PubMed I saw this abstract and happened to notice that apparently polyhexanide is a relative of chlorhexidine. I found no definitive info as to whether irrigating with chlorhexadine was safe either. always wondering, AW
