Crystacide 1% Cream 25g

Hydrogen peroxide is a well-known antiseptic agent, and is effective against a majority of micro-organisms. It works as an oxidising agent to kill micro-organisms that do not require oxygen to survive (anaerobes). Hydrogen peroxide is used to disinfect and cleanse the skin, particularly to cleanse wounds and ulcers.

What is it used for?

• Leg ulcers
• Sores caused by lying or sitting in the same position for long periods of time (pressure sores)
• Superficial skin infections

For external use only. 

Apply sparingly to the affected area 2-3 times daily or as required.  If a waterproof plaster is used, one application a day may be sufficient. A dry film may appear on the skin after application; this can easily be washed off with water.

Do not use continuously for more than 3 weeks.

Do not use on large or deep wounds or on healthy skin.

Hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics.

Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Do not use Crystacide Cream 1% if you know you are sensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients. Make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows if this affects you.

Crystacide should not be used on large or deep wounds and should not be applied to healthy skin. Take care to avoid contact with the eyes. If Crystacide should accidentally get into your eyes, wash it out immediately with plenty of cold water.

Hydrogen peroxide can bleach fabrics.

Crystacide should not be used in the presence of iodine, permanganate and other strong oxidising agents.
