An antiseptic agent is a substance that is used to kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms on living tissue. Antiseptics are commonly used to clean and disinfect wounds, cuts, and other skin injuries. They are also used in surgical settings to prevent infections. Some common antiseptics include alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and iodine. Antiseptic agents can be toxic in large quantities, and it is important to use them properly to avoid skin irritation or other side effects.
