Efficacy and stability of two chlorine-containing antiseptics.
Dakin's solution and a chloroxydizer in a hypertonic sodium chloride solution were tested for bacteriological and clinical effectiveness and stability. No real difference in effectiveness was observed between the two products; however, only the chloroxydizer showed satisfactory stability at 150 days under the test storage conditions.
