HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SOLUTION 3% 40ML

Composition

Pharmacology

Antiseptic, hemostatic, disinfectant, deodorizing.
The antiseptic effect is due to the oxidative effect - when in contact with damaged skin and hydrogen mucous membranes, peroxide under the influence of catalase (mainly) and peroxidase disintegrates with oxygen (including active forms), which creates unfavorable conditions for the development of microorganisms, especially anaerobic and putrid flora; at the same time, it is characterized by a short duration and a weak effect. When the solution gets into the wound, destruction (oxidation) of proteins, blood, pus, and its mechanical purification occurs due to abundant foaming (due to gas bubbles rising from the walls) from contaminating particles, small foreign bodies, blood clots. This foaming contributes to thrombosis and stop bleeding from small vessels.
