Microcid (Hydrogen Peroxide)

Hydrogen peroxide releases free oxygen radicals when it contacts tissue. These radicals oxidize bacterial cell walls and intracellular proteins, causing loss of membrane integrity and cell death, which provides broad‑spectrum antimicrobial activity.

The amount of Microcid applied is determined by the prescriber or healthcare professional based on the size and type of the wound or skin area. No fixed dosing regimen is provided; use as directed on the product label or by a qualified practitioner.

The safety of hydrogen peroxide topical use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been definitively established. Healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against unknown risks and may recommend alternative antiseptics if concerns exist.

To order Microcid, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Compared with alcohol‑based antiseptics, hydrogen peroxide offers a rapid oxidative mechanism without the strong drying effect. It is less irritating than iodine solutions for some patients but may cause more stinging. Choice depends on the clinical situation, patient tolerance and the spectrum of activity required.

Store Microcid at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from direct sunlight and moisture, and store it in its original packaging to maintain stability.

Microcid is applied topically to the cleaned wound or skin area using a sterile gauze or applicator. A thin layer is spread over the surface, allowing it to foam briefly, then it may be rinsed off after a few minutes or left to evaporate, following the instructions of the healthcare professional.

The most serious risks include severe skin irritation, chemical burns, and allergic contact dermatitis. In rare cases, extensive absorption of large amounts can lead to systemic toxicity. Users should discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe reactions develop.

Microcid should not be used on deep puncture wounds, extensive burns, mucous membranes, eyes, or on individuals with known hypersensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. Children should be supervised to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
