Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution contains Hydrogen Peroxide. It belongs to the Antiseptic and disinfectant class of medicines.
Hydrogen Peroxide kills germs on the skin and in a wound, reducing the chance of infection.
Clean the affected area, apply the solution using a cotton ball, let it bubble to disinfect, and cover with a bandage. Repeat as needed.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Take the missed dose of Hydrogen Peroxide as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use, but swallowing an antiseptic is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of Hydrogen Peroxide are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

For external use only. Keep away from the eyes and the inside of the mouth and nose unless the product is made for that purpose. Do not use a strong antiseptic repeatedly on an open wound — clean running water and soap around the edges are usually better, and harsh antiseptics slow healing. See a doctor for a deep or dirty wound, an animal bite, a wound that will not stop bleeding, or one that becomes red, swollen, warm or discharges. Check that your tetanus cover is current after any dirty or penetrating wound.
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for use on large burns or deep wounds without medical advice.
No significant interactions are expected.
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
Clean the wound under running water first, then apply. Cover a clean wound with a sterile dressing and change it if it becomes wet or dirty.
