Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate: Brands, Price & Uses in Bangladesh

Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate is an antimicrobial emollient preparation indicated for:

Established use

• Management of dry, scaling, and pruritic (itchy) skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis, where an emollient with antimicrobial protection is required.
• Use as a leave-on moisturizer applied directly to affected areas of the skin.
• Use as a soap substitute during bathing or showering in place of ordinary soap, which can be drying and irritating to eczema-prone skin.

Adjunct use

Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate may be used as part of a broader eczema/dermatitis management plan alongside other prescribed topical treatments (e.g., topical corticosteroids), applied at a different time rather than mixed together, to help maintain the skin barrier and reduce the risk of secondary bacterial skin infection from scratching.

Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate is not intended as a stand-alone treatment for infected, broken, or severely inflamed skin, which requires separate medical assessment.

Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate dosing is applied topically and is not weight- or age-dosed in the way oral medicines are; instead, frequency and amount are guided by symptom severity.

Regular, consistent use is generally required to obtain maximum benefit for dry and eczema-prone skin.

Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate is generally well tolerated. Reported side effects include:

• Local skin reactions such as redness, stinging, irritation, or itching at the site of application, particularly with excessive use or in skin folds.
• Contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals (rare).

Rare but serious: signs of a serious allergic reaction — swelling of the face, lips, or throat; widespread rash or hives; difficulty breathing; dizziness; an unusual metallic taste; or collapse — require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of Liquid Paraffin + Benzalkonium Chloride + Chlorhexidine + Isopropyl Myristate.
