Οινοπνευμα Mediplants

Οινοπνευμα Mediplants is a 70% v/v ethanol solution for cutaneous use, widely used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. This high-strength formulation is suitable for skin preparation and minor wound care. Commonly found in first aid kits and medical settings.

Ethanol 70% serves as a topical antiseptic to cleanse minor cuts, scrapes, and skin abrasions. It is also used for pre-injection skin disinfection and general surface sanitization. The solution evaporates quickly, reducing the risk of skin irritation while effectively killing germs.

When applied to the skin, ethanol 70% creates a cooling sensation as it evaporates, which may provide temporary relief from minor discomfort. Its rapid action helps reduce the presence of bacteria and viruses on the skin surface. Users may notice a slight dryness or tightness after application.

Keep away from open flames and heat sources due to its flammable nature. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin, as it may cause irritation. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area and keep out of reach of children. Always use as directed and discard if discolored or contaminated.

Ethanol may interact with other topical medications by increasing skin absorption or causing irritation. Avoid combining with hydrogen peroxide or iodine, as this can lead to excessive dryness or skin damage. Do not use on large areas of damaged skin or with occlusive dressings.
