Do not use together with PVP-iodine antiseptics (iodine povidone complex) on adjacent parts of the body (risk of brown or purple discoloration). Septisse is a cationic preparation which, when combined with anionic washing agents or detergents, may cause sparingly soluble residues. Due to the risk of interaction with anionic compounds, it is recommended to use distilled water (or water for injections) as a solvent. The entry of large amounts of fluid into the bloodstream (e.g. accidental injection) should be avoided as octenidine dihydrochloride is toxic when administered intravenously. In order to avoid tissue damage or local swelling, do not inject or introduce the preparation into the tissue under pressure. Always provide adequate drainage from the wound cavities (e.g. drainage, suction). Use with caution in newborns (especially premature babies). The drug can cause severe skin changes. Remove any excess medicine and make sure that the solution does not stay on the skin longer than necessary. Do not use in the eye - if such contact occurs, rinse eyes with plenty of water.
