Hydrogen Peroxide Betadine Mix
On the effect of mixing hydrogen peroxide and iodophor
Doctors often need to study the properties of various medicines in detail when treating diseases to prevent misuse and harm. Hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidizing properties, can break the structure of harmful bacteria to achieve disinfection effect; iodophor, which is also a commonly used disinfectant, has good bactericidal power and is less irritating to the skin.
In the past, people may not have been deeply observed, and there were people who mixed hydrogen peroxide with iodophor. At first, they thought that both had the ability to disinfect, and mixing could increase the effect. However, this is not the case. When the two are mixed, the chemical change suddenly starts. When hydrogen peroxide encounters iodophor, its oxidizing property interacts with some components in iodophor, causing an unbalanced reaction, which not only greatly reduces the disinfection power, but also produces harmful by-products.
In clinical practice, there is a misuse of the two mixed externally, applied to the wound, but not as expected, resulting in local skin discomfort, increased redness and swelling, and increased pain. This is all due to the change in mixing, damaging the skin tissue and disturbing the body's ability to recover.
Therefore, doctors should observe the pharmacology of the drug, and must not rashly mix unverified things. It is necessary to check the classics in detail, consult all the parties, and clarify their advantages and disadvantages before applying the medicine to the patient to ensure the effect of healing and avoid accidental harm.
