1. 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Disinfecting pads typically contain a 6070% solution of isopropyl alcohol in water. A 75% v/v solution in water may be used as a hand sanitizer.[12] Isopropyl alcohol is used as a water-drying aid for the prevention of otitis externa, better known as swimmer's ear Rubbing & massaging. First aid antiseptic. To decrease germs in minor cuts & scrapes. 2. Betadine Solution is an aqueous solution of 10% povidone-iodine. It is a fast-acting, broadspectrum antiseptic that helps reduce bacteria that potentially can cause skin infection. It is used for degerming skin, wounds and mucous membranes, and for preoperative skin preparation of patients A solution, sold over-the-counter (OTC) for cleaning minor wounds and used in hospitals to prepare a patient's skin prior to surgery. Solutions are 10% povidone-iodine in water. Betadine is used in hospital settings as part of a regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Betadine may be used topically for surface infections of the human rectum. 3. Hydrogen Peroxide Solution First aid antiseptic debriding agent. First aid to help prevent the risk of infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns. Aids in the removal of phlegm, mucus, or other secretions associated with occasional sore mouth 4. Terramycin Opthalmic Ointment

Terramycin with Polymyxin B ointment is an antibiotic combination. It works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall and the production of the bacteria's proteins, which kills the bacteria.

It is effective in infections caused by susceptible strains of staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, Hemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Koch-Weeks bacillus, and Proteus.

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of Terramycin and other antibacterial drugs, Terramycin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

5. Zephiran Solution Antisepsis of skin and mucous membranes and as a disinfectant in surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology and general practice. Also may be used as a disinfectant for hospital utensils and other environmental surfaces and for disinfection and storage of ampuls, thermometers, metal instruments and catheters. 6. Spirit of Ammonia Aromatic ammonia spirit is used to prevent or treat fainting.

For preventing or treating fainting: i. For inhalation dosage form (inhalants): 1. Adults and teenagersThe inhalant should be held away from the face and crushed between the fingers. The inhalant should then be held about four inches away from the nostrils, and the vapor slowly inhaled until the patient awakens or no longer feels faint. 2. ChildrenUse and dose must be determined by your doctor. ii. For inhalation dosage form (solution): 1. Adults and teenagersAfter the top is taken off the container, the vapor may be slowly inhaled until the patient awakens or no longer feels faint. 2. ChildrenUse and dose must be determined by your doctor

7. Acetic Acid Solution Acetic acid is antibacterial and antifungal; propylene glycol is hydrophilic and provides a low surface tension; benzethonium chloride is a surface active agent that promotes contact of the solution with tissues. For the treatment of superficial infections of the external auditory canal caused by organisms susceptible to the action of the antimicrobial. 8. Benedicts Solution Benedict's reagent (also called Benedict's solution or Benedict's test) is a reagent used as a test for the presence of monosaccharides (such as

glucose and fructose); it is also used for some disaccharides like maltose, or more generally for the presence of aldehydes, in a solution. Benedict's reagent can be used to test for the presence of glucose in urine. Glucose found to be present in urine is an indication of diabetes. 5.0ml of Benedict's qualitative solution is mixed with 0.5ml of urine and the mixture is put in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. The results are recorded thus: no precipitate : Green :Trace Yellow :+ Orange:++ Red:+++ Once sugar is detected in urine, further tests have to be undergone in order to ascertain which sugar is present. Only glucose is indicative of diabetes.
