Swissmedic-approved patient informationMerfen aqueous solutionVERFORA SAAMZVWhat is Merfen aqueous solution and when is it used ?Merfen aqueous solution is a disinfectant with the active ingredients chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride. It acts on the microorganisms responsible for inflammation. The effect of Merfen aqueous solution is maintained even in the presence of blood and pus. The application of Merfen aqueous solution is painless. The preparation is suitable for disinfecting wounds and injuries, such as scratches and abrasions, cuts, minor burns (superficial, small-area burns of the 1st degree) and insect bites. What should be considered?Large, heavily soiled and deep wounds, as well as bite and puncture wounds require medical treatment (including the risk of tetanus). If the extent of a wound remains the same for some time or if the wound does not heal within 10 to 14 days, a doctor's visit is also necessary. The same applies if the edges of the wound are very red, the wound suddenly swells, is very painful or the injury is accompanied by fever (danger of blood poisoning). When should Merfen aqueous solution not be used?You must not use Merfen aqueous solution if you are on chlorhexidine digluconate, benzoxonium chloride, or quaternary ammonium compounds or any of the excipients in this preparation are allergic. When is caution required when using Merfen aqueous solution?Merfen is for external use only. Avoid getting Merfen in contact with the eyes, ears (hearing canal) and mucous membranes (such as the mouth and nose). If you accidentally get Merfen in your eyes, please rinse immediately with plenty of water. Merfen must not be taken. Merfen should not be used too frequently or for a long period of time without medical advice. If you experience skin irritation or unusual sensitivity, you should stop using Merfen Aqueous Solution. In children under the age of 2 years, the preparation may only be used if prescribed by a doctor. Caution should be exercised in newborns, especially premature infants. Merfen aqueous solution can cause chemical skin burns. After disinfection, allow the skin to dry before applying a light bandage. To prevent skin irritation, Merfen aqueous solution should not be used under a tight-fitting bandage. Due to the low rate of absorption of the active ingredients chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride, no interactions with other medicinal products are expected. Tell your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you suffer from other illnesses,have allergies ortake other medicines (including those you bought yourself!) or use them externally!Contact your doctor if you need to treat extensive injuries or burns. Can Merfen aqueous solution be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?Pregnancy:The preparation can used in small amounts (on small wounds) during pregnancy. There are no adequate data from the use of chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride in pregnant women. The potential risk for humans is unknown; however, it is believed to be very low because chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride are poorly absorbed following topical application. Consult your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you wish to use the product during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Breastfeeding:It is not known whether chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride are excreted in human milk. During breastfeeding, Merfen aqueous solution can be used in small amounts (on small wounds), except on the chest. Before breastfeeding, as a general precaution, you should wash your nipples thoroughly with water.
