Pharmachem Potassium Permanganate (Condys Crystals)

Pharmachem Potassium Permanganate (Condy's Crystals) is a general antiseptic and disinfectant in a 500g pack, widely used for treating skin infections and purifying water.

Key Benefits

• Skin infections: used to address a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, bacterial skin infections and thrush; its strong oxidising properties help eliminate harmful bacteria and fungi
• Wound care: only a small amount of a very dilute solution is required for small, wet wounds; for larger affected areas, highly diluted potassium permanganate water baths are recommended
• Water purification: also effective in purifying water

Directions for Use

• Small wounds: prepare a very dilute solution and apply a small amount directly to the affected area
• Larger areas: prepare a potassium permanganate water bath using a highly diluted solution, well mixed before use
• Wound care solution / water purification: add potassium permanganate until the pink solution just turns a light purple

Safety

• Dilution is crucial: concentrated solutions can cause burns and irritation
• Even diluted solutions can irritate the skin, and repeated use may lead to chemical burns
• Application may cause temporary discolouration of the hair and skin, which typically fades over time
