In Vivo	0.4% Picloxydine produces a highly significant drop in the number of aerobic organisms. 0.4% Picloxydine is far more effective than 0.2% Picloxydine or chlorhexidine in reducing the total viable count of oral aerobic and anaerobic organisms[1]. Picloxydine is also used in eye drops in the topical therapy of trachoma[2].
