Description
Overview of the medicine
Care-On 03-3 Solution is a topical antiseptic solution used for skin disinfection and wound cleansing. It helps prevent infections in minor cuts, abrasions, and burns.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply liberally to the affected area or as a wet dressing, as needed. Allow to air dry if possible. Repeat application 1-3 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
No special dosage adjustment required for elderly patients. Use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment

How to Take
For external use only. Clean the affected area before applying. Apply the solution directly or with a sterile applicator. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, and mouth. Do not apply on large areas of broken skin for prolonged periods without medical advice.
Mechanism of Action
The active ingredients work by denaturing proteins and disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation or death. This broad-spectrum activity helps to reduce bacterial, fungal, and viral loads on the skin surface or in wounds.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Immediate upon application, with antiseptic effects observable within seconds to minutes.
Excretion
Not applicable for typical topical use due to minimal systemic absorption.
Half life
Not applicable for typical topical use due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin. Absorption may be increased through damaged skin or mucous membranes, but is generally not significant enough to cause systemic effects.
Metabolism
Not applicable for typical topical use due to minimal systemic absorption.

- •Avoid use in deep or puncture wounds, or serious burns without medical supervision.

Drug Interactions
Other topical agents
Avoid simultaneous application with other topical antiseptics or ointments unless directed by a healthcare professional, as efficacy may be altered or irritation increased.
Soaps and anionic detergents
May reduce the antiseptic efficacy by inactivating the active ingredients. Thoroughly rinse off soaps before applying the solution.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Systemic overdose is highly unlikely with proper topical application due to minimal absorption. Accidental ingestion may lead to gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, or other systemic effects depending on the quantity. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and lactation when used as directed on minor areas. However, for extensive use or concerns, consult a healthcare professional.
