How to use potassium permanganate?

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you. If in doubt, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
A freshly prepared solution of potassium permanganate is used.
Use on the skin. It is treated with a 0.01% concentration solution, which must be prepared immediately before use. 2-3 times a day, soak a cotton swab or gauze pad in the freshly prepared solution and clean the damaged skin. A fresh solution must be prepared each time, it must not be reused.
To prepare a 0.01% concentration solution, 0.1 g of powder (a few crystals, on the tip of a knife) is placed in a glass container, slowly added to 1000 ml (1 liter) of warm boiled water and stirred until the powder is completely dissolved. The prepared solution is cooled. It should be a light pink color. Since it is difficult to accurately weigh such a small amount of the drug, the main criterion for determining the concentration is the color of the solution. If the color of the solution is too bright, it should be diluted with a larger amount of warm boiled water.

Adults and children
The same 0.01% concentration solution is suitable for both childrens and adults.
