Recommendation comes as effectiveness of consumer antiseptics is questioned. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommending that health care facilities continue to use health care antiseptics along infection control guidelines, in contrast with the recent federal announcement that manufacturers of consumer-grade antibacterial products failed to prove that the ingredients in these products are both safe for long-term daily use or more effective than plain soap and water.
The FDA is still gathering information before releasing a final ruling on health care antiseptics. Until then, it is recommended that health care providers continue use of these antiseptics consistent with infection control guidelines.
