Hexetidine (Latin: Hexetidinum) is an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent commonly used in both veterinary and human medicine. It is a local anesthetic, astringent and deodorant and has antiplaque effects.^[1][2]

Hexetidine is the medicinal ingredient in Sterisol, which is labelled for the symptomatic treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis ('strep throat'), tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, gingivitis, ulcerative stomatitis, oral thrush and Vincent's angina; postoperative hygiene following tonsillectomy, throat or oral surgery.

In the UK, hexetidine is the active ingredient in the medicated mouthwash branded Oraldene. This is produced by Mcneil, a division of Johnson & Johnson. Oraldene contains 0.1 g/100 ml of hexetidine. In some European countries, the gargle solution and mouth spray in bottles of 40 ml named Hexoral (by Mcneil) also contains 0.2% Hexetidine as its active compound. Hexetidine can also be found in the mouthwash Bactidol (by Mcneil) which is sold in many Asian countries.
