LHP

A cream that protects

 LHP is an OTC drug (prescription free) in the form of an antiseptic cream that keeps small wounds free from bacteria and prevents infections. The cream contains hydrogen peroxide, an antiseptic substance that the bacteria cannot develop resistance against. This means you can use LHP as much and as often as you need – without having to worry about antibiotic resistance.

LHP is an antiseptic / antibacterial cream which keeps wounds clean from bacteria. LHP is used for small and superficial wounds such as scrapes, abrasions, broken cuticles, cracked skin, cold sores and insect bites. If the wound does not become infected, a more rapid and effective healing process is possible.

In all Swedish pharmacies.

When and how should LHP not be used?
LHP is not known to affect other diseases negatively. 

Avoid contact with eyes.

Yes.

Can LHP be used while nursing?

Should any concomitant therapies be avoided?
Avoid use of products containing iodine or potassium permanganate when using LHP. The hydrogen peroxide in the LHP is broken down by these substances and LHP becomes ineffective. The effects of concomitant treatment with other topical medications, including herbal remedies, are not studied.

A thin layer LHP cream is applied on the wound 1-2 times daily. You can cover the wound with a gauze or a patch if necessary. Treatment should not exceed two weeks. If the wound does not start to heal in that period of time, you should consult a nurse or doctor. The cream can easily be washed off with water alone.

How should LHP be stored and how long is the durability?
The cream should be stored at room temperature. The expiry date is printed on the carton and tube welding.
