Use

Hexachlorophene, an antimicrobial agent, was introduced in 1948 in proprietary liquid preparations and powders and was subsequently used extensively as a topical antiseptic. By the early 1970s its use in infants had been conclusively demonstrated to cause encephalopathy as a result of transdermal absorption. More recently it has been suggested that the drug has a teratogenic potential. Many regulatory authorities have placed rigorous restrictions on the medicinal use of hexachlorophene, particularly in preparations intended for infants. However, its use still commonly remains permissible at low concentrations as a preservative in toiletries and cosmetics. (Reference: (WHODI) WHO Drug Information, 3, 6, 1978)
