Calcium Sandoz Injection 10ml works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane through Chlorhexidine, causing leakage of cellular contents and leading to cell death. Chlorhexidine binds to negatively charged bacterial cell walls, inhibiting enzyme activity and disrupting the osmotic balance. Calcium Lactobionate supports the process by providing bioavailable calcium ions, which are crucial for cellular function, tissue repair, and bone strength. Together, these components create a synergistic effect that prevents microbial growth and promotes faster healing.
