Edda Pharma Alcohol 96º Reinforced 250 ml

EDDA PHARMA Alcohol 96º Reinforced is a universal antiseptic with great power to eradicate viral and bacterial activity. It is made from vegetable-based ethanol and reinforced with benzalkonium chloride. Benzalkonium chloride provides a powerful inhibitory action against pathogenic microorganisms. This disinfectant product is ideal for use as a method of disinfecting healthy skin prior to injections. It is also very useful for cleaning surgical instruments prior to surgery to prevent the risk of cross-infection. In this sense, it can be sprayed on inert surfaces and thus support the disinfection of spaces.

Pure alcohol has also been used in cosmetics and acts as an astringent in magistral formulas and as an excipient in medicines. On the other hand, ethanol vapours, when inhaled, can help clear the nasal passages and respiratory tract or aid recovery from low blood pressure and nausea. Pure alcohol has even been used in laboratories as a dehydrating agent. On the other hand, because 96 proof alcohol has a higher concentration of ethanol compared to 70 proof alcohol, the former will have a lower antiseptic capacity due to its rapid evaporation.
