HYDROGEN PEROXIDE 400 ML

Hydrogen Peroxide Solution 3% (10 Volumes) – 400 ml is a stabilized antiseptic and disinfectant used for wound care, surface sterilization, and laboratory applications. It works by releasing oxygen that destroys microbes and lifts debris from tissues, promoting healing and cleanliness.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) is a clear, colorless liquid known for its powerful oxidizing and antimicrobial properties. This 3% solution—commonly referred to as “10 Volumes”—is widely used in medical, laboratory, and household settings. It is packaged in a 400 ml plastic bottle with bilingual labeling (English + Hindi), and is intended strictly for external use.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent that decomposes into water (H₂O) and nascent oxygen (O). This reactive oxygen species penetrates microbial membranes and disrupts essential biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. The oxidative stress leads to microbial death and tissue cleansing.

🔬 Mechanism of Action

• Oxidation Reaction: Upon contact with organic matter, H₂O₂ breaks down and releases oxygen, which oxidizes and destroys microbial cells.
• Effervescence: The bubbling effect helps lift debris and dead tissue from wounds, aiding in cleaning and healing.
• Antiseptic Effect: It kills bacteria, fungi, and viruses on contact, making it suitable for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.

🧫 Antimicrobial Spectrum

• Bactericidal: Effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
• Virucidal: Inactivates enveloped viruses
• Fungicidal: Active against yeast and mold
• Sporicidal: Limited effect; not suitable for surgical sterilization
