The present invention provides a germicidal antiseptic composition for dilution, which is superior in preparation stability, and free of formation of insoluble precipitation even when diluted with water containing an inorganic ion (e.g., tap water etc) when in use, thereby retaining superior germicidal disinfection ability. The present invention relates to a germicidal antiseptic composition for dilution, which is an aqueous liquid comprising chlorhexidine gluconate as a main ingredient, (1) 1-10 w/v % of chlorhexidine gluconate; (2) 1-10 w/v % of one or more selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and a polyoxyethylene alkenyl ether, each having an HLB of 10-15 and a congeal point of not more than 35° C.; (3) 0.001-0.5 w/v % of a water-soluble organic monocarboxylic acid having 2 to 6 carbon atoms; and (4) water. |
