Dear Sir, Madam,

We have received a number of enquiries from community pharmacies regarding how to access ChloraPrep. This is in response to a growing number of GP prescriptions, and hospital referrals to District nurse teams.

ChloraPrep is currently the only licensed cutaneous antiseptic available containing 2% chlorhexidine gluconate w/v and 70% isopropyl alcohol v/v(MHRA PL 31760/0002) that meets the current EPIC2(Pratt RJ et al J Hosp Infect 2007; 65 (Suppl): S1-S64) and Saving Lives( on vascular access and the maintenance of line insertion sites.

It is listed in MIMS and BNF, but so far does not yet have listing in DrugTariff. However ChloraPrep remains a licensed GSL medicine in the UK, and if prescribed is fully reimbursed by the PPA.

We have a sole distributor in the UK, which is Insight Health – prices, ordering codes and contact details are below. They provide a next day delivery service UK wide, for orders placed before 2pm.
