Article Description

A new antimicrobial emollient (Dermol 500 Lotion) has been developed containing the antiseptics benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine hydrochloride. In vitro and in vivo studies have been performed to confirm its antimicrobial activity particularly against Staphylococcus aureus, the bacterial species increasingly implicated in the colonization and secondary infection associated with eczema/dermatitis and its related pruritus. Dermol 500 Lotion was also shown to have a more powerful antimicrobial effect than E45 Cream, a comparator bland but preserved emollient. In a clinical trial of children with atopic dermatitis, Dermol 500 Lotion was effective and well liked by the majority of patients, especially when compared to previously used emollients.
