Hydrogen peroxide as an antiseptic is commonly used for the treatment and removal of pus and debris from the wound due to its harsh characteristics. Hydrogen peroxide is also used for cleaning fish ponds, animal water reservoirs, and cages. Alcohol, due to its rapid evaporation action, is less preferred over chlorhexidine and iodine and iodophors based antiseptics. Moreover, several studies have illustrated that alcohol induces bacterial regrowth in wounds. The other products segment includes silver compounds and acetic acid. Silver compounds are used as mild antiseptics and in ophthalmic preparations. Silver nitrate, commonly used as a caustic antiseptic and an astringent, is mostly used in cats and dogs. The degree of action for silver nitrate depends upon the concentration used and the duration for which the compound is allowed to act. Acetic acid is majorly used as wound dressing and in urinary tract irrigation.
