Avaliação química do parâmetro físico-químico de soluções de digluconato de clorexidina 02 por cento disponíveis no mercado / Chemical analysis of physical chemical parameter of commercially available 02 by cent chlorhexidine digluconate solutions

Foi realizada uma análise química de 11 amostras de soluções de digluconato de clorexidina a 2,0 por cento disponíveis em casas de materiais odontológicos e farmácias de manipulação de Porto Alegre - RS e Tubarão - SC, a fim de averiguar a especificação do produto. Para tanto, veririficou-se o teor de sal do digluconato de clorexidina nas amostras por meio de cromatografia liquida de lata eficiência (CLAE/HPLC). A metodologia utilizada no presente estudo foi baseada na empregada pelo Depertament of Health, Social Services and Public from Northen Ireland (1993). Os resultados encontrados evidenciaram que apenas duas das 11 amostras analisadas estavam fora dos limites de especificação, comprovando ser o digluconato de clorexidina uma substância com adequado controle de qualidade.
