Hydrogen Peroxide In Saline 480ml

Wound irrigation and debridement; antiseptic for wound cleaning; component of topical equine hoof and wound preparations. Oxidizing antiseptic agent (H2O2). Mechanism: releases nascent oxygen upon contact with organic matter (catalase enzyme) → oxidizes microbial cell components (lipids, proteins, DNA) → cytotoxic to microorganisms. Also mechanical debridement via oxygen bubble formation loosening necrotic tissue. Cytotoxic to healthy granulation tissue — use judiciously. Key information Irrigation solution. Dilute concentration — for wound irrigation. Do not instill in body cavities. Single-use.

Topical wound irrigation: use 3% solution; apply via syringe or gauze. Limited to one-time debridement — do not use repeatedly. Emesis (oral, dogs — 3% solution only): dose as directed; do not use concentrated solutions. Do not inject. Store at room temperature; protect from light. If a dose is missed This medication is administered by a veterinarian or veterinary staff in a clinical setting. Missed doses are managed by your veterinary team — contact your veterinarian to reschedule.

Cytotoxic to granulation tissue (delays wound healing with repeated use). GI: vomiting after oral ingestion (intended for emesis but may not work in some species). Gas embolism (tissue emphysema) if injected into closed cavities. Mucosal irritation. Foaming in wounds — mechanically useful for debridement.

For animals Do not use repeatedly on wounds — cytotoxic to granulation tissue and delays healing. Not for injection or deep wound irrigation. Limited to one-time debridement if needed. For people handling this medication Wear gloves when handling. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Avoid inhaling sprays or aerosols. Keep out of reach of children. Dilute solutions generally safe — higher concentrations (>3%) can bleach skin and hair and irritate mucous membranes. Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children.

If ingested, contact your veterinarian. Hydrogen peroxide causes GI foaming and irritation. Gas embolism risk if used in closed body cavities. Contact your veterinarian, a veterinary emergency clinic, or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless specifically directed by a veterinary professional.
