  • Triclosan-Containing Antibacterial Soaps Neither Safe Nor Effective
    Triclosan-containing antibacterial soaps neither safe nor effective: Comments from Environmental Working Group on the Food and Drug Administration proposed data requirements for antibacterial soaps June 16, 2014 Re: Safety and Effectiveness of Consumer Antiseptics; Docket No. FDA-1975-N-0012 Environmental Working Group is a non-profit public health research and advocacy organization based in Washington, DC that has been raising concerns about antibacterial agents for many years. With this letter we express strong support for the FDA’s proposal to evaluate the safety and efficacy of consumer antibacterials soaps. In December 2013, the FDA announced that antibacterial soaps with ingredients such as triclosan and triclocarban might be neither safe nor any more effective than plain soap and water, stating: “The record does not currently contain sufficient data to show that there is any additional benefit from the use of consumer antiseptic hand or body washes compared to nonantibacterial soap and water” (FDA 2013). Despite the absence of efficacy data, manufacturers have aggressively marketed antibacterial soaps to the American public. As a result of widespread use of such soaps, 75 percent of Americans have triclosan in their bodies, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (Calafat 2008). Triclosan has been found in pregnant women (Woodruff 2011), in cord blood (TNO 2005) and in breast milk (Dayan 2007), indicating that triclosan exposures start from the first moments of life. A pilot study found triclocarban in a third of urine samples collected from American adults with no known triclocarban exposure (Zhou 2012). The exposures would likely be much higher among consumers who buy triclocarban products.

FDA Rules On Antibacterial Soaps Law360, New York (January 24, 2014, 7:00 PM ET) -- Makers of consumer antibacterial hand and body washes have promoted their products as a safe and effective alternative to ordinary soap and water for years. Without question this market has grown significantly as consumers seek new ways to protect the health of their families and themselves. But this growth has not come without controversy. Consumer groups, armed with studies suggesting that these products may not be as safe and effective as advertised, have pushed to place restrictions on the use of certain chemical agents found in consumer antibacterial washes. Much of this focus has been on triclosan and triclocarban, two of the most prevalent active ingredients used in these products. Proffered arguments against these products range from lack of effectiveness to hormone disruption, and the potential for increasing the development of bacterial resistance. Responding to pressure from these groups, and in particular a lawsuit brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a proposed rule on Dec. 17, 2013, to establish conditions under which over-the-counter consumer antiseptic products intended for use with water are “generally recognized as safe and effective” (“GRAS/GRAE”).[1] This proposed rule will amend the FDA’s 1994 tentative final monograph (“1994 TFM”), essentially a proposed rule, for OTC antiseptic drug products.

Article Received on 26/01/2021 Article Revised on 16/02/2021 Article Accepted on 08/03/2021 ABSTRACT Studies have shown that plain and antiseptic soaps are effective in keeping the skin from microbial contaminants. However, prolong use of antimicrobial soaps has been implicated with potential health challenges. This present research was carried out to determine the effects of some selected antiseptic soaps and cleansing agents on the bacterial flora of the skin based on its potential influence on the total aerobic bacterial flora on five skin sites. Based on treatment exposure, the result showed that subjects exposed to antiseptic soaps alone had mean aerobic 2 2 bacterial count ranging from 137±40.0Cfu/cm to 461±75.51Cfu/cm . Furthermore, it was observed that individuals who were exposed to antiseptic soaps + cleansing agents had mean aerobic counts ranging from 2 2 90±50.83Cfu/cm to 307±83.93Cfu/cm , while the mean aerobic bacterial count from the control subjects ranged 2 2 from 282±83.93Cfu/cm to 834±118.82Cfu/cm .

  • WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care (Advanced Draft)
    The WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Healthcare (Advanced Draft) will be issued as a final version in 2007. At present it is important for countries and organisations to note that the Guidelines rep- resent a consensus of international experts and up to date technical information on hand hygiene improvement within a health care context across the world. The Guidelines are being pilot tested and it is likely that changes will be made to some of the technical content of the chapters in light of pilot test results. The Advanced Draft status offers WHO the opportunity to review and update the literature during the life of the Global Patient Safety Challenge to ensure that evidence is as contem- poraneous as possible on final publication. It is unlikely that the fundamental principles behind the guideline recommendations will change by the time the Guidelines are finalized in 2007. We welcome formal feedback on these guidelines.

Several children in the class are sick with strep throat. Should you stock up on germ-killing "antibacterial" soap? Save yourself the trip to the store. Plain soap and water work just as well for basic hand-washing, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Hand-washing is an important way to help prevent or spread illness. Plain soap and water make bubbles and slippery skin, so the germs and dirt can slide off hands and down the drain. Antibacterial soap kills most bacteria. However, it kills bad bacteria and good bacteria. The bad bacteria that survive get stronger and become harder to kill. This is why experts say antibacterial soap is not better than plain soap. Recently, 19 antibacterial ingredients were removed from hand wash products because there was not enough evidence to prove they are safe, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Now, the antibacterial hand wash products you see in stores contain different ingredients: benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride and chloroxylenol. These ingredients are still are being studied. Consumers also should avoid buying products that claim to prevent infections from the flu, Salmonella, MRSA, E. coli and other bacteria and viruses, the FDA says. To help parents and caregivers teach children how to clean their hands, experts offer the following tips: Cleaning hands with soap and water Step 1: Wet hands under warm or cold water, turn off the faucet and apply soap to hands.

  • FDA Bans Some Chemicals Used in Antibacterial Soap
    FDA Bans Some Chemicals Used in Antibacterial Soap Government says there is no proof the products work better than plain soap and water ENLARGE The FDA ban comes more than 40 years after Congress asked the agency to evaluate triclosan and dozens of other antiseptic ingredients. Photo: Kiichiro Sato/Associated Press Associated Press Updated Sept. 2, 2016 4:14 p.m. ET WASHINGTON—The federal government Friday banned more than a dozen chemicals long­used in antibacterial soaps, saying manufacturers failed to show they are safe and kill germs. “We have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, the Food and Drug Administration’s drug center director, in a statement. Friday’s decision primarily targets two once­ubiquitous ingredients—triclosan and triclocarban—that some limited animal research suggests can interfere with hormone levels and spur drug­resistant bacteria. Related The 19 banned chemicals have long been under scrutiny, and a cleaning industry spokesman said most companies have already removed them from their soaps and washes. The FDA said it would allow companies more time to provide data on three other chemicals, which are used in most antibacterial soaps sold today. The agency told manufacturers nearly three years ago that they must show their products are safe and effective. Regulators said Friday that they either didn’t receive any data from the industry supporting a chemical’s use, or the data didn’t meet federal standards for proving safety and effectiveness. In the case of triclosan, regulators said they didn’t receive either human or animal studies showing the drug is safe or effective.
