HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(A)
₹18.00
“Hydrogen Peroxide (A)” refers to an aqueous (A) solution of hydrogen peroxide, commonly a 3% concentration solution sold for household and medical use as a mild antiseptic. The “A” likely indicates “Aqueous” in a chemical context or possibly a local brand/manufacturer such as Bassein, a chemical hub in India.
Uses and Benefits
The primary use of the dilute (around 3%) solution is for first aid and hygiene applications.
- Antiseptic for Wounds: It is applied to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns to help prevent infection. The bubbling action (effervescence) when it contacts skin or blood helps physically clean the wound by lifting away dirt and dead tissue. However, modern medical advice often suggests limiting use on deep wounds as it can damage healthy tissue and slow healing.
- Oral Hygiene: A diluted solution can be used as a mouthwash or gargle to relieve minor mouth irritations, canker sores, or gingivitis. It should not be swallowed.
- Disinfectant: A 3% solution is effective for disinfecting household surfaces, such as countertops and bathroom fixtures.
- Other Uses: It can be used for earwax removal, as a laundry stain remover, or as a bleaching agent for hair and fabrics.
Key Information and Precautions
- External Use Only: This product is strictly for external application. Ingestion can cause severe gastrointestinal issues or even a potentially fatal oxygen embolism in the bloodstream.
- Dilution: Always use a diluted solution (typically 3%) for personal use. Industrial concentrations (often >30%) are highly corrosive and dangerous.
- Storage: Store the solution in a cool, dark place in an opaque bottle, as light and heat cause it to decompose into water and oxygen.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include temporary stinging or redness at the application site and the potential to bleach skin or fabrics.
- Consult a Professional: Consult a doctor for deep wounds, animal bites, or serious burns before use, as hydrogen peroxide may not be the appropriate treatment.
