SEPTOL LIQUID 50ML

Antiseptic Solution Liquid works by disrupting the cell walls of microorganisms, primarily bacteria and some viruses. The active ingredients in the solution typically include compounds like alcohol, iodine, or chlorhexidine, which have potent antimicrobial properties. When applied to the skin or a wound, these agents denature proteins, interfere with enzyme systems, and disrupt the cell membrane integrity of microbes. This action leads to the leakage of cellular contents, inhibition of essential microbial functions, and ultimately, the death of the microorganisms. The mechanism is rapid and non-specific, targeting a broad spectrum of pathogens, making antiseptic solutions effective in preventing and controlling infections by reducing the microbial load on the treated area.
