Hydrogen Peroxide Solution
Product introduction
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution should be applied only to the affected area as directed by your doctor. Before applying, wash your hands and gently clean the wound with water. Apply a thin layer of the medicine, and if advised, cover the area with a clean dressing. Use it regularly for as long as prescribed to get the best results. Avoid using more than the recommended amount or applying it too frequently, as this will not make the wound heal faster and may irritate the skin.
Common side effects include mild stinging, redness, or irritation at the site of application. These effects are usually temporary and settle on their own. If the irritation persists, worsens, or you develop swelling or rash, stop using it and inform your doctor. Using the medicine only on broken or infected skin as directed helps reduce the chances of side effects.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution is meant for external use only and should not be swallowed or applied to the eyes, mouth, or deep wounds. Do not use it on large areas of damaged skin unless your doctor advises. People with sensitive skin should use it carefully, as it may cause irritation. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any other medical conditions, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
