Microcid

Hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in Microcid, is an antiseptic presented as a topical solution for skin antisepsis and wound cleaning. It works by releasing oxygen radicals that damage microbial cells, making it suitable for use on minor cuts, abrasions and pre‑procedural skin preparation. GNH USA supplies Microcid as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Microcid is an antiseptic applied to the skin and superficial wounds to reduce microbial contamination. - Skin antisepsis: Reduces microbial load on intact skin before invasive procedures. - Wound cleaning: Helps cleanse minor cuts, abrasions and superficial burns by destroying bacteria. - Surgical site preparation: Provides a rapid, broad‑spectrum antimicrobial action for pre‑operative skin preparation.

Hydrogen peroxide may cause local reactions when applied to the skin or wounds.

Common Side Effects: - Stinging or burning sensation at the application site. - Redness or mild erythema. - Temporary whitening of the skin. - Minor itching. - Slight swelling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe skin irritation or chemical burns. - Allergic contact dermatitis. - Development of ulceration with prolonged exposure. - Systemic toxicity if large amounts are absorbed (rare).

Use Microcid according to professional guidance and observe standard hygiene practices. - Avoid application on deep or puncture wounds: May cause tissue irritation. - Do not use on mucous membranes or eyes: Can cause severe irritation. - Keep away from children: Accidental ingestion may be harmful. - Discontinue if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs: Seek medical advice. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Hydrogen peroxide can interact with certain substances and conditions.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Catalase‑rich solutions (e.g., blood, certain wound dressings): May neutralize efficacy. - Reducing agents (e.g., sodium thiosulfate): Can inactivate the oxidizing action.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antioxidant topical agents (e.g., vitamin C creams): May diminish antimicrobial effect. - Certain metal ions (e.g., iron, copper): Can accelerate decomposition. - Concurrent use with other oxidative antiseptics: May increase irritation risk.
