Domiphen Bromide is used as a topical antiseptic for minor skin wounds, cuts, and abrasions. It is also found in some oral care products, such as lozenges, for managing bacterial infections of the mouth and throat.

As a quaternary ammonium compound, Domiphen Bromide exerts its antimicrobial effects by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria and other microorganisms, leading to cell death.
