About Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide is used to prevent infections occurring due to open scrapes, cuts, and wounds. Hydrogen Peroxide is also used in the treatment of leg ulcers and pressure sores. Venous ulcers (leg ulcers) are caused by the pooling of blood in the leg veins. Pressure sores are sores caused by lying or sitting in the same position for a long period. 

Hydrogen Peroxide contains Hydrogen Peroxide, which works by liberating oxygen when applied to the affected area. The released oxygen froths and foams, helping in cleaning the area of application. Hydrogen Peroxide also functions by producing destructive free radicals of oxygen that attack the pathogen’s cell membrane and DNA, and thus destroy the pathogen and arrest the progression of the disease.

Hydrogen Peroxide should be used as advised by your doctor. It is an external preparation. Hence, avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental use, wash it thoroughly and inform your doctor. Wash your hands before applying the Hydrogen Peroxide. In some cases, Hydrogen Peroxide may cause certain side effects, such as temporary stinging or redness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your physician if you experience these side effects consistently.

Hydrogen Peroxide should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any of its components. Let your doctor know about your entire medical history, including any other topical medications or oral medicines, herbs, or vitamins you may be using.
