Abstract
Introduction: Often shown in chemical control of bacterial plaque and inflammatory and infectious processes installed in the oropharyngeal region the mouthwashes contain as active ingredients chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, gantrez triclosan and essential oils. Objective: To survey the rinsing with antiseptic available in 2014 on a sample of pharmacies, drugstores and supermarkets located in the Administrative Regions IV and VIII – Salvador/BA, identifying the components, concentrations and dosages. Methodology: Four supermarkets and four pharmacies / drugstores installed in each of the Regions IV and VIII of the City of Salvador/BA were chosen at random, followed by a survey of mouthwashes with antiseptics available, coming from various manufacturers, and noted the data recorded on the label of the packages in order to access to pharmacological information on these commercial products. Results: The survey conducted in 16 commercial units visited revealed the predominance of basic active ingredients cetylpyridinium chloride (61.1%), chlorhexidine digluconate (11.1%), triclosan gantrez (7.4%), and essential oils (35,2%) or some association between these substances, as well as other components, concentrations and excipients. Conclusion: 1. The rinses available in stores installed in the Administrative Regions IV and VIII of Salvador, BA, correspond to a representative sample of other Regions, regardless of socio-economic conditions of the population of each; 2. Access to information on the label on the packaging of the active ingredients, other components, concentrations and excipients is extremely restricted, a condition that aggravates the health risks due to the omission of side effects. 3. The fact that rinses contain associated or isolated antiseptic substances - whether associated or isolated - predominate in shops, the products containing cetylpyridinium chloride (followed by essential oils), chlorhexidine digluconate and triclosan gantrez
