On the usefulness of hydrogen peroxide after it has expired
There is a medicinal agent in the world, called hydrogen peroxide. Everyone often suspects that after it has expired, how can it still be used?

If hydrogen peroxide is used, it is a chemical agent, a sexual oxidation agent, and it is used in medical treatment and trauma, home cleaning, etc. However, sometimes, hydrogen peroxide is no exception. If it exceeds its expiration date, it may change.

If it has not expired, it should be sealed and stored properly, kept in a cool and dark place, protected from heat and light, so that it can have all its properties. However, once it expires, its internal quality gradually changes. Although there is no big difference on the outside, the effect is different from the past.

It is said that the hydrogen peroxide has expired, and its oxidation ability is gradually weakened. When used for medical purposes, the disinfection power is not as good as in the past, or it is difficult to eliminate all kinds of germs, which increases the risk of wound infection. If it is clean, the decontamination power is also inferior, and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect.

As for the time when it can be used after expiration, it is difficult to determine the exact number. The speed of its deterioration is related to many reasons such as the existence method and the temperature and humidity. If it exists in a place with high temperature and humidity, it may have changed greatly before it expires; if it is cool and dry, it may have expired a little, or it may still have a slight effect. Even so, it cannot be relied on.

Generally speaking, expired hydrogen peroxide should not be discarded. For safety and effectiveness, a new agent is better. When used by doctors, it is related to life; when used by ordinary people, it is also necessary to seek efficacy. Don't save money and cause unexpected diseases. Therefore, expired hydrogen peroxide should be given up as soon as possible, and a new system should be sought.
