Peroxita Cream is used to prevent infections occurring due to open scrapes, cuts, and wounds. Peroxita Cream is also used in the treatment of leg ulcers and pressure sores. Venous ulcers (leg ulcers) are caused by the pooling of blood in the leg veins. Pressure sores are sores caused by lying or sitting in the same position for a long period. 

Peroxita Cream contains ‘’Hydrogen Peroxide’’ that works by liberating oxygen when applied to the affected area. The released oxygen froths and foams, help in cleaning the area of application. Peroxita Cream also functions by producing destructive free radicals of oxygen that attack the pathogen’s cell membrane and DNA and thus destroy the pathogen and arrest the progression of the disease.

Peroxita Cream should be used as advised by your doctor. It is an external preparation. Hence, avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. In case of accidental use, wash it thoroughly and inform your doctor. Wash your hands before applying the Peroxita Cream. In some cases, Peroxita Cream may cause certain side effects, such as temporary stinging or redness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your physician if you experience these side effects consistently.

Peroxita Cream should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any of its components. Let your doctor know about your entire medical history, including any other topical medications or oral medicines, herbs, or vitamins you may be using. Avoid using Peroxita Cream for more than 3 weeks at a stretch. Do not use Peroxita Cream on large, deep wounds or healthy, intact skin. Peroxita Cream is not meant to be used as an enema or as a laundry detergent. Note that Peroxita Cream may bleach fabrics. Consult your physician before using Peroxita Cream during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.

Peroxita Cream is a topical agent that has antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. It contains Hydrogen Peroxide. Peroxita Cream is used to cleanse the area it’s applied to and to prevent any further infection of the open cut, scrape, or wound. Peroxita Cream functions as an antiseptic by virtue of its bacteria and fungus-killing nature. Hydrogen peroxide acts against various bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and spores. Peroxita Cream works by liberating oxygen when applied to the affected area. The released oxygen froths and foams help in cleaning the area of application. Peroxita Cream also shows emulsifying qualities that help its surface action, thereby relieving itching, redness, inflammation, and irritation of the skin. Peroxita Cream is hence used to treat surface-level itches, leg sores, pressure sores, skin breaks, and superficial infections.

• Drinking enough water and keeping your skin hydrated can go a long way in preventing surface infections. While the generally accepted rule is 8-12 glasses of water per day, the trick is to make sure you drink water each time you feel thirsty. 

• A diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins can be very effective in promoting wound healing.

• Iron, vitamin C, and zinc supplements can also speed up the wound-healing process. 

• Keep your skin moisturized adequately to ensure skin integrity and prevent any skin disease. 

• Practising personal hygiene is also very effective in preventing bacterial and fungal surface infections. 

• Avoid smoking as this can hamper wound healing and can also predispose to leg ulcers.

• Maintaining a good BMI and moving around and walking can help prevent leg ulcers.

• If you are required to stand for long periods at work, make sure you lie down and raise your leg for a short period at the end of the day to encourage blood circulation.

• Wearing compression stockings can also prove very helpful in maintaining blood circulation.

• Apply a light layer of Peroxita Cream and do not apply in excess, as this can result in pilling and cause an allergic reaction (very rarely).

• In case Peroxita Cream gets into your eyes, rinse them out thoroughly, making sure you do not get the product into the other eye. If irritation persists, please consult a physician.

• In case of an allergic reaction to Peroxita Cream (a sudden rash, burning, stinging), inform the doctor immediately.

Leg Ulcer: Leg ulcers are also called venous ulcers. They occur when blood circulation in the leg is compromised, causing blood to pool in the veins of the leg. They are characterised by pain, swelling and skin redness.

Pressure Sores: Sores caused by sitting or lying down in one position for a prolonged period of time are called pressure sores. Bed sores that happen in the elderly are an example of the same.
