Nail infections are difficult to cure due to lack of penetration of topically applied antifungal actives. Benzalkonium is highly unlikely to be effective. Dodoma 23:22, 27 October 2007 (UTC)


This chemical is being marketed as a lotion to treat Fungal infections of finger nails and toe nails. i would like to know if there are any medical reports about its effectiveness and usage.

what happens if swallowed?

Caution

50ml of a 50% solution in a 4000 litre fishpond killed all goldfish within hours. Some waterlilly leaves are turning yellow but I'm not yet sure if this chemical is the cause.

"The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms." (67.171.24.88 20:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC))

Redirection

"Zephiran" redirects here, but that name does not occur in the article even once. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.101.1.17 (talk) 18:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Zephiran is a tradename for benzalkonium chloride.[1] It would be improper to include the name Zephiran in the article unless all competing tradenames are also included. However, it is proper to redirect each tradename to the article, otherwise there would be several redundant articles, one for each tradename. Greensburger 21:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
