Hydrogen Peroxide
Uses
Hydrogen peroxide is used to prevent wound infections.
How it Works
How Hydrogen Peroxide Works Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent with antibacterial and antiviral properties. It is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and deodorant, and it also has a mild haemostatic effect. Its antiseptic action is partly due to the rapid release of oxygen when applied to tissues; however, this effect is diminished in the presence of organic matter. The mechanical action of effervescence may be more beneficial for wound cleansing than the antimicrobial properties.
Side Effects
Common side effects of hydrogen peroxide include erythema (skin redness), skin irritation, and a burning sensation.
