What Is Hydrogen Peroxide Used For?
Topical hydrogen peroxide (commonly 3% solution) is an FDA over-the-counter monograph product used as a first-aid antiseptic to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. A lower-strength oral rinse form is also used as a debriding agent to help remove phlegm, mucus, or other secretions associated with occasional minor sore mouth. It is not intended for use as a general wound cleanser on deep or serious wounds, and higher, non-medicinal concentrations (such as 35% "food grade" peroxide) are not for medicinal use and can cause serious harm.
How to Use It Safely
- Apply topical 3% hydrogen peroxide sparingly to minor cuts, scrapes, or burns as directed on the label.
- For oral debriding use, follow the specific product's rinse instructions; do not swallow.
- Stop use and ask a doctor if the condition persists or worsens, or if irritation, redness, or swelling develops.
Saving on Hydrogen Peroxide and Related Antiseptics
Because hydrogen peroxide is sold over the counter, prices can still vary by pharmacy and package size. If it's part of a larger prescription order or a first-aid kit you're purchasing at a pharmacy, an Rx.com coupon can help you compare prices across pharmacies. Other common first-aid antiseptics include isopropyl alcohol and povidone-iodine; each works differently, so ask a pharmacist which is appropriate for your situation.
Safety Information
Hydrogen peroxide is for external (or, for oral rinse products, topical oral) use only and should not be swallowed or used near the eyes. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if irritation develops or a wound does not appear to be healing. This is general information, not medical advice; talk to your pharmacist or doctor about proper wound care.
