Toxicity Summary
Link to the Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) Database
The LD50 of subcutaneously administered chlorhexidine in mice is >5 g/kg.[L11539] Small children are likely to be more susceptible to chlorhexidine overdose - ingestion of 1-2 ounces by a small child may result in gastric distress, nausea, and intoxication. Treatment should consist of symptomatic and supportive measures. Seek medical attention if a child ingests >4 ounces of chlorhexidine solution or if symptoms of intoxication develop post-exposure.[L11512]
