Is There Any Precedence For Successful Treat Of A Person Injected With Hibiclens?


9 weeks ago, my friend fell onto a nail that penetrated approximately 3 inches into the side of his abdomen. The clinician injected hibiclens into the wound. My friend has since been to 3 hospitals and has had surgery and now walks around with a pump attached to his stomach. The fat cells have hardened and he fears for his life. The doctors seem to not know what to do about his situation and have suggested possibly sending him to a burn center. Is there any prescedence for successful treatment of a person injected internally with hibiclens?

Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about this supposed Hibiclens injection. This product is used for disinfection and not injection. I would very much doubt if a doctor for real administered it as an injection. Please, ask the doctor and get the exact thing he did with this product. I very much think he light have used it for cleansing and not as an injection.

I will suggest that you client follows up with his treating doctor. We need to examine hi fully and understand what the real problem is before recommending further services and treatment options. Get him for a second opinion and follow up so that he receives the very much needed care.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish your friend the best of health.
