Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and surfactant. It is primarily used for topical and surface disinfection and in veterinary and cosmetic formulations.<\/p>\n
It is bactericidal, especially against gram-positive bacteria, and also exhibits some activity against gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Cetrimide is commonly used:
\nFor cleansing wounds and burns
\nAs a skin antiseptic
\nIn mouthwashes (in low concentrations)
\nIn shampoos and creams (e.g., anti-dandruff, antiseptic)
\nAs a preservative in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products
\nIn disinfection of surgical instruments<\/p>\n
\ud83e\uddec Mechanism of Action:
\nCetrimide acts by disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to leakage of cell contents and cell death. It also acts as a surfactant, aiding in emulsification and cleansing.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_cat":[17],"product_tag":[1070,1079,1071,1081,1078,1082,1080],"class_list":{"0":"post-1739109","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-all","6":"product_tag-antiseptic","7":"product_tag-cationic-surfactant","8":"product_tag-disinfectant","9":"product_tag-preservative","10":"product_tag-quaternary-ammonium-compound","11":"product_tag-skin-cleanser","12":"product_tag-topical-antimicrobial","13":"desktop-align-left","14":"tablet-align-left","15":"mobile-align-left","16":"ast-product-gallery-layout-vertical","17":"ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","18":"ast-magnify-disabled","19":"ast-product-tabs-layout-distributed","21":"first","22":"instock","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1739109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1739109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1739109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1739109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1739109"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pharmint.net\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1739109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
