Is it essential to respect expiration dates?
An antiseptic solution can become heavily contaminated and, in extreme cases, cause infection.

Hospital infectious diseases specialists estimate that an alcoholic solution will keep for approximately one month, and an opened aqueous solution for a maximum of two weeks.

GLOSSARY ^(summary)

alcohol
General name designating a family of substances that have the property of being able to be mixed with water and fatty substances. The most common alcohol is ethyl alcohol (ethanol), but there are many other alcohols: methanol, butanol, etc. The degree of alcoholic solution corresponds to the volume of pure alcohol present in 100 ml of solution, knowing that 1 glass of wine or 1/2 of beer (25 cl) contains about 8 g of alcohol.
When alcohol is used as an antiseptic, an unpleasant odor denaturant is often added to prevent drinking. Contrary to a widespread belief, alcohol at 70o (or even at 60o) is a better antiseptic than alcohol at 90o.


antisepsis
Action to destroy bacteria, microscopic fungi or viruses present especially on the skin, mucous membranes and wounds.
The action of an antiseptic is not always immediate: a delay of a few minutes is sometimes necessary before the germs are inactivated.


antiseptic
A substance that locally destroys bacteria, reducing their numbers and preventing their proliferation. Some antiseptics are also active on microscopic fungi and viruses.


seeds
A general term that refers to all microscopic organisms likely to cause infection: bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi.


mucous
Tissue (membrane) that lines the cavities and ducts of the body communicating with the outside (digestive tract, respiratory tract, urinary tract, etc.).


Allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
