How It Works

Hydrogen peroxide works by releasing oxygen when it comes into contact with organic material. This oxidising action kills bacteria and other microorganisms. The 9% concentration is the strongest commonly available strength and provides a powerful antiseptic and cleaning effect.

Directions for Use

This is a strong solution. Always dilute before use on skin — mix one part hydrogen peroxide with two parts water for wound cleaning. For disinfecting surfaces or equipment: may be used undiluted. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, clothing and fabrics as it will cause bleaching. Handle with care. If you are unsure how to use this product, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
