It can also obviously break down to 4-chloroaniline and hexamethylenediamine. Which are rather bad. This was not considered in the FDA’s evaluation of it.
Those side effects don’t seem so bad. I’m not planning to put it in my ear; I don’t get any irritation or allergic reactions, and the way I’m using it (applying a toothpaste containing it around my implants after brushing my teeth, as prescribed by my dental hygienist) doesn’t seem to discolor my teeth either. 4-chloroaniline and hexamethylenediamine do look scary though...

As you were writing that, did you consider why chlorhexidine might cause hearing damage?
