title: Development of medicated aerosol dressings of chlorhexidine acetate with hemostatics.

Chlorhexidine acetate along with three hemostatics namely zinc acetate, methyl cellulose and Calendula tincture were used for the formulations. The formulations were found to be satisfactory in their performance and purpose.
