D & M Robin's Hospital Disinfectant

Who is this for?

This is a disinfectant solution made from hydrogen peroxide, sodium lauryl sulphate, phosphoric acid, and sodium EDTA — it works by killing germs, bacteria, and viruses on surfaces and is NOT meant to be swallowed or used on the body like regular medicine.

Disrupts microbial cell membranes and denatures proteins through oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide), while sodium lauryl sulphate acts as a surfactant to break down lipid bilayers and enhance penetration; phosphoric acid lowers pH to inhibit microbial metabolism, and sodium EDTA chelates divalent cations essential for bacterial cell wall integrity and biofilm formation.

Is Hydroxide safe to take with another drug?

This is NOT a medicine you take by mouth. It is a surface disinfectant meant for cleaning. Follow the dilution instructions on the product label — usually you mix a measured amount with water and use it to wipe or mop surfaces. Known in Nigeria as D & M Robin's Hospital Disinfectant.

This does not apply — this is a cleaning disinfectant, not a medicine you take on a schedule.

• Since this is a disinfectant and not taken internally
• side effects from proper use are rare
• but skin contact may cause irritation or burning sensation
• inhaling the fumes may cause coughing or throat irritation
• and prolonged skin contact may cause dryness or peeling.

Do not mix this disinfectant with bleach or other cleaning chemicals as it can produce dangerous fumes. Do not use it together with other disinfectants unless the manufacturer says it is safe.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the container tightly closed. Store far out of reach of children — this product is poisonous if swallowed. Do not transfer into food or drink containers.
