Mechanism of Action
-
Chlorhexidine Hydrochloride acts as an antiseptic by disrupting the cell membrane of bacteria, leading to cell death. It provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.

Nystatin binds to sterols in fungal cell membranes, increasing permeability and causing leakage of cellular components, leading to fungal cell death.
Together, they provide dual action against both bacterial and fungal infections.
