FAQs

How often should I use Schulke Octenilin?

It should be used during each dressing change, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Can I use this product on burns?

Yes, it is suitable for cleansing burns, provided it is used according to the instructions and does not come into contact with eyes, ears, or internal cavities.

Do I need to rinse the wound after using Octenilin?

Rinsing is generally not necessary after application, as the solution is designed to be left on the wound.

What is the active ingredient responsible for disinfection?

The active ingredient is Octenidine HCl, which acts as a preservative to inactivate germs.

How should the product be stored?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after each use.

What is the shelf life after opening the bottle?

The product should be used within 8 weeks after the first opening.

Is this product suitable for children?

While it is designed for wound care and is non-irritating, it is a medical device and should be kept out of reach and sight of children. Always follow healthcare provider recommendations for pediatric wound care.

Troubleshooting

Product appears cloudy after opening.

This can be a normal temporary effect due to temperature changes. Allow the solution to reach room temperature. If cloudiness persists or is accompanied by foreign particles, discontinue use.

Dressing is still difficult to remove after soaking.

Ensure the dressing is thoroughly saturated with Octenilin and allow adequate soaking time (e.g., 10-15 minutes). Gently try to lift the edges of the dressing. If still resistant, reapply Octenilin and wait longer.

Skin irritation occurs after application.

Discontinue use immediately. Although non-irritating for most, allergic reactions are possible. Cleanse the area with plain water. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists.
