BABY CARE COLLECTION SET + HAND SANITISER

Baby Care Collection Set: I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any specific drug by the name “Baby Care Collection Set.” It is possible that you are referring to a set of baby care products or a collection of items for baby care rather than a single drug. Can you provide more information or clarify the specific drug you are asking about?

Hand Sanitiser: Hand sanitiser is a type of antiseptic solution that is predominantly used for disinfecting hands and reducing the spread of harmful germs and bacteria. It is commonly used in situations where soap and water are not readily available, such as in hospitals, schools, and public places.

The primary mechanism of action of hand sanitiser is through the presence of alcohol, typically ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. These alcohols work by denaturing the proteins in bacteria and viruses, disrupting their cellular membranes, and ultimately killing them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol content for effective disinfection.

The dose of hand sanitiser varies depending on the formulation and brand. Generally, a sufficient amount should be applied to cover both hands completely. It is important to rub the sanitiser all over the hands, including the back of the hands, between fingers, and under nails, for at least 20 seconds until the hands are dry.

Although hand sanitiser is generally safe when used as directed, it is not without potential side effects. Some common side effects include dryness or irritation of the skin, especially with frequent use. Alcohol-based sanitiser may also cause a stinging sensation or mild skin burning if applied to broken or irritated skin. In rare cases, excessive use of hand sanitiser or ingestion can result in alcohol poisoning, which can cause symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and vomiting.

It is important to note that hand sanitiser is not a substitute for proper handwashing with soap and water. It is most effective when used as a temporary solution or in situations where handwashing is not immediately available. Regular handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is still the gold standard for maintaining good hand hygiene.
