About this work

Description

Frank Rowntree talks about hexaclorophine. Findings from the US indicate that high doses of hexaclorophine can cause brain damage in rats. Hexaclorophine is used in cosmetics, toiletries and other products. Rowntree says that this substance has been used over the last 20 years and has proved very effective against staphylococcus infection in hospitals. A statement was issued in the House of Commons shortly before this broadcast. New guidelines have been issued and the substance will only be available from licensed chemists.
