Hydroperit tablets are used to disinfect mucous membranes and skin surfaces. Very often this drug replaces regular peroxide. However, not every person knows that “Hidroperite” is a combination of hydrogen peroxide and urea. That is why the taste of the tablets is salty with a bitter aftertaste.
Medicinal properties
Hydroperite has antiseptic activity. Exhibits a disinfecting and antimicrobial reaction when interacting with the skin and mucous membranes. This medication also has deodorizing activity, eliminating heavy odors. When used topically, the active component does not enter the bloodstream. It should be noted that the solution, when used, has only a short-term antimicrobial effect, and therefore its use as a sterilizing agent is not advisable.
Indications for use of the drug
This drug can be used only after it is dissolved in water.
Use the freshly prepared solution to rinse the mouth and throat or wash wounds with it.
Having found out what “Hydroperit” is, we can conclude that these tablets are used for inflammation of the skin, as well as for external treatment of mucous membranes. The most common indications for use are:
- Diseases of the oropharynx and oral mucosa: stomatitis, gum inflammation, sore throat, gingivitis.
- Gynecological diseases.
- Purulent wounds on the skin.
- Capillary bleeding from wounds and skin lesions.
- Nosebleeds of various origins.
The drug disinfects wounds, kills infections and relieves inflammation both on the surface of the skin and on the mucous membrane.
Mode of application
To rinse the throat and mouth, as well as wash wounds, you should prepare a special solution. To treat wounds and for gynecological ailments, you need to dilute 2 tablets of Hydroperit in 1/2 cup of boiled water. To prepare a rinse solution, dilute 1 tablet in 1 glass of water, which corresponds to the concentration of a one percent hydrogen peroxide solution. For convenience, the tablet should initially be thoroughly crushed to a powder state. The duration and regimen of treatment is prescribed by the attending physician.

Composition of the drug
As stated in the instructions, “Hydroperit” contains several active ingredients. The main components in the tablets are urea and hydrogen peroxide. The latter in the drug contains 35% of the total volume of the drug. Not everyone knows what “Hydroperit” is, but absolutely everyone has heard of hydrogen peroxide. So, “Gidroperit” is an analogue of this drug, and its composition and the rapid solubility of the tablets make it possible to almost instantly obtain a disinfectant solution for the external treatment of wounds.
It is the combination of two active ingredients that provides the drug with the strongest disinfecting effect, achieved by combining hydrogen peroxide with urea. To treat the skin, tablets of the drug are diluted with water. The product can only be used externally. Hydroperit should not be taken internally. Hydrogen (peroxide) with urea is available in tablets weighing from 0.75 to 1.5 g.

Side effects
If you prepare an overly concentrated solution from Hydroperit tablets, you can get a burn to the skin or mucous membranes. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and not deviate from the recommended dosages when preparing the solution. If dry powder from the tablets gets on wet skin or mucous membranes, first and second degree chemical burns may develop. This side effect can also be observed on the walls of the esophagus when the active substance gets ingested.
Such an overdose should be treated with drugs that eliminate symptoms and discomfort. Burns on the skin should be washed immediately with water.
Another side effect of the drug is irritation or allergy on the surface of the skin. If you use Hydroperit too often, you may experience a burning or itching sensation at the site of application of the solution.
special instructions
When thinking about what “Hydroperit” is, you should remember that the drug is an antiseptic and cannot be used as a sterilant. When treated with Hydroperit, there is only a temporary decrease in the number of harmful microorganisms. Also, do not use occlusive dressings in areas of skin damage. Do not take tablets of the drug orally. It is necessary to use the resulting solution with extreme caution in the presence of small children. When using it, you must avoid getting the medicine into your eyes - this will cause a burn on the cornea of the eye, which will cause a deterioration in the quality of vision.
“Hydroperite” is extremely unstable in an alkaline environment, as well as when in contact with complex radicals, oxidants, bright light and heat. Under such conditions, the components of the drug begin to disintegrate, and its effectiveness is significantly reduced.
It is not at all difficult to purchase “Hidroperit” in tablets at a pharmacy, since the product is sold almost everywhere. The cost of the drug is also very affordable, which makes the antiseptic one of the most popular in its category. It is also important that the use of a solution for rinsing or treating the skin does not in any way affect the ability to drive a car, operate machinery, or activities that require special concentration and speed of psychomotor reaction.
Features of treatment
Hydroperit tablets can be used throughout all trimesters of pregnancy. When treating children, one should take into account not only the child's age, but also his ability to rinse his mouth without swallowing liquid. The composition obtained from this product is quite toxic and dangerous to the gastrointestinal tract.
How to dilute "Hydroperit"? The tablets take a long time to dissolve. In order not to waste time waiting, it is best to break them with a hard household object and only then mix them with water. Usually they proceed as follows: tablets are laid out on a sheet of paper, after which the paper is wrapped and kneaded on top with something heavy. Most often they use a mortar, a kitchen hammer or an ordinary glass bottle.
How the drug works
According to the instructions, “Gidroperit” tablets have a strong antiseptic effect on the skin and mucous membranes. This effect is explained by the properties of atomic oxygen or an oxygen atom that, without interacting with another atom, does not form a molecule. This ensures that the free oxygen atom participates in oxidative reactions, which act as an acid and destroy pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, when atomic oxygen comes into contact with a bleeding wound, it begins to fold proteins and accelerate the formation of blood clots.
The deodorizing effect of the drug is largely achieved due to the beneficial effect of the oxygen atom on tissues: energy metabolism and the regenerative function of tissues itself improves. Not all dermatologists prescribe “Hydroperit” for a disease such as skin dermatitis. Although it may well alleviate the condition of the skin and speed up its regeneration. The drug also has the ability to reduce allergy symptoms, eliminate itching and heal scratches.
Numerous reviews of Gidroperit tablets only confirm the fact that the drug should be in every home medicine cabinet. The solution helps speed up wound healing and is also an indispensable medicine for many inflammatory diseases of the throat and oral cavity. Before using the drug, you must carefully read the instructions for use in order to protect yourself from possible side effects associated with incorrect dosage of the drug.
What does it consist of?
The form of release of the drug is round white tablets. They are contained in a convenient paper package in the amount of eight or ten pieces. This product contains an active substance - urea peroxide. The drug is sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.
Household use
You can use this product to clean your home. Moreover, the reviews about “Hidroperite” are the most positive. In this case, it acts as a disinfectant. Pre-dissolved tablets are added to any cleaning composition. It is recommended to wipe tableware with a weakly concentrated solution.
Women also use this drug to bleach their hair. For example, owners of light brown hair can make strands that are three shades lighter than their natural shade. For brunettes, most likely, this method will not work. For everyone else, the following composition is usually used: three tablets of “Hydroperit”, ten drops of ammonia and a tablespoon of water. All components are mixed together and applied to hair strands. Given the rather aggressive composition of the bleaching agent, you should use gloves and do not use the solution on the roots.
Hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide, perhydrol, hydroperite) GOST 177-88
Hydrogen peroxide is a colorless, transparent, slightly viscous liquid with a weak, peculiar odor and a “metallic” taste, infinitely soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Hydrogen peroxide is a non-flammable, fire-explosive liquid and is a strong oxidizing agent that vigorously reacts with many substances. It is capable of spontaneous decomposition into water and oxygen, and mixes with water in any ratio. Concentrated aqueous solutions are explosive. Hydrogen peroxide is a good solvent. Density: 1.4 g/cm³, melting point: -0.432° C, boiling point: 150.2° C.Chemical formula: H2O2
Use of hydrogen peroxide. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, hydrogen peroxide is widely used in everyday life and in industry, where it is used, for example, as a bleach in textile production and in paper production. It is used as rocket fuel - as a single component (with decomposition on a catalyst) or as an oxidizer. Used as a foaming agent in the production of porous materials, in the production of disinfectants and bleaches. In industry, hydrogen peroxide also finds its use as a catalyst, hydrogenating agent, and as an epoxidizing agent in the epoxidation of olefins.
Medical hydrogen peroxide is used in medicine, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and other industries. Hydrogen peroxide is used in medicine as an antiseptic, hemostatic agent, as well as for the disinfection and sterilization of medical products.
In the food industry, aseptic hydrogen peroxide solutions are used to disinfect technological surfaces of equipment in direct contact with products. In addition, in enterprises producing dairy products and juices, hydrogen peroxide solutions are used to disinfect packaging (Tetra Pak technology). For technical purposes, hydrogen peroxide is used in the production of electronic equipment, in the production of polymers, and in metallurgy.
Obtaining hydrogen peroxide. Depending on the purpose and methods of production, medical and technical hydrogen peroxide is produced. Technical hydrogen peroxide is produced in grades A and B. Hydrogen peroxide (aqueous solution) is produced by the electrochemical method through persulfuric acid (grades “medical” and technical grade A) and by an organic method based on the liquid-phase oxidation of isopropyl alcohol (technical grade B).

Safety requirements for hydrogen peroxide GOST 177-88:
| Degree of toxicity | 2 |
| Basic properties and types of hazard | |
| Basic properties | A colorless, transparent, non-flammable liquid, it is a strong oxidizing agent, can spontaneously decompose into water and oxygen, and is miscible in any proportion with water. Corrosive to most metals. Contact with iron, chromium, lead, silver, manganese and their salts is not allowed. To avoid decomposition, exposure to direct sunlight, contamination of solutions with foreign impurities, as well as the use of equipment and containers made of unalloyed and low-alloy steels, cast iron, copper, brass, bronze and materials that are catalysts for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, are not allowed when working with it. |
| Explosion and fire hazard | Hydrogen peroxide is not sensitive to shock, friction, fire rays, and is sensitive to mineral, organic contaminants and ultraviolet irradiation. The rate of decomposition under the influence of these factors increases, which is accompanied by a significant release of oxygen and can lead to a significant increase in pressure in a closed volume. Under the influence of catalysts (lead, iron, their salts, etc.), hydrogen peroxide is capable of intensive decomposition, releasing large amounts of heat and gases (water vapor and oxygen). Aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide with mass fractions specified in these technical specifications are fire and explosion-proof. |
| Danger to humans | Solutions can cause burns to the skin and eyes, and vapors can irritate the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract and eyes. |
| Individual protection means | Isolating protective suit KIKH-5 complete with an insulating gas mask IP-4M or a breathing apparatus ASV-2. At low concentrations in the air (with an increase in the maximum permissible concentration up to 100 times) - special clothing, an industrial gas mask. Oil-resistant gloves, special shoes. In case of fire - a fireproof suit complete with self-rescuer SPI-20. |
| Necessary actions in emergency situations | |
| General | Take the carriage to a safe place. Isolate the dangerous zone within a radius of at least 800 m. Adjust the specified distance based on the results of chemical reconnaissance. Remove strangers. Enter the danger zone wearing protective equipment. Provide first aid to the injured. |
| In case of leakage, spillage and scattering | Fix the leak. Report to CSEN. Do not touch spilled substance. Fence the straits with an earthen rampart. Dilute with plenty of water. Do not allow the substance to enter water bodies, basements, or sewers. Avoid contact with petroleum products, flammable materials and metals. |
| In case of fire | They don't burn. Cool containers with water from a maximum distance. If the temperature rises uncontrollably, discard the substance by diluting it with water. |
| Neutralization | Use sprayed water to precipitate vapors. Pump out the substance from low-lying areas using materials inert to oxidizers and send for disposal. Isolate the spill area with sand, rinse with plenty of water, dike it and avoid contact with petroleum products and other flammable materials. Treat the surface of the rolling stock and areas (individual hot spots) with an alkaline solution (milk of lime, soda ash solution). |
| First aid measures | Rinse the affected areas with copious amounts of water; if it gets into the eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water and consult an ophthalmologist. If ingested, give water or milk to drink, induce vomiting, then give activated charcoal. |
