Dettol Antiseptic Liq

Chloroxylenol 4.8% w/v, Terpineol 9% v/v, Absolute alcohol 13.1% v/v (with excipients)

Skin antiseptic for minor cuts, wounds, abrasions, insect bites and prickly heat; antiseptic cleansing of skin; household disinfection of floors, bathrooms, sinks, drains, laundry and surfaces (as directed).

Chloroxylenol is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that damages microbial cell walls and enzymes, reducing bacteria and some fungi on skin and surfaces. Terpineol and alcohol enhance antimicrobial action and help cleansing.

For external use only. Always dilute before use: for minor wounds/cuts and as skin antiseptic, add a small amount to water and use to clean the area; for bathing/hygiene use dilute in a bucket of water; for household disinfection dilute in water and apply to surfaces/floors then allow contact time before wiping. Use as per pack label/doctor advice; do not swallow.

Skin irritation, burning or stinging, redness, dryness, allergic rash, eye irritation (on contact)

Do not use undiluted on skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse with plenty of water. Do not ingest; if swallowed seek medical help/poison control. Stop use if irritation or allergy occurs. Keep away from children. Do not use on large/deep wounds, severe burns or serious skin infections without medical advice. Flammable due to alcohol—keep away from heat/flames.

No clinically significant drug interactions expected with topical use; avoid using concurrently with other strong antiseptics/skin irritants on the same area as it may increase irritation.

Store tightly closed at room temperature (below 30°C), away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Keep container upright and out of reach of children.
