Disinfectants

Disinfectants are not supposed to treat humans directly. They are used to kill or inactivate microorganisms on surfaces such as floors, walls, and countertops. They are designed to be used on inanimate objects and surfaces to prevent the spread of infections. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using disinfectants to ensure they are used safely and effectively.

Antimalarials

Antimalarials are medications used to prevent or treat malaria, a disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. These medications are specifically designed to target the malaria parasite in the human body and are not intended for use on surfaces or inanimate objects.

Antiseptics

Antiseptics are substances that are applied to living tissue to reduce the risk of infection. They are used to clean wounds, cuts, and scrapes to prevent the growth of microorganisms and promote healing. Antiseptics are safe for use on human skin and mucous membranes but should not be ingested or used on surfaces.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics are medications that are used to treat bacterial infections in humans. They work by either killing bacteria or preventing their growth. Antibiotics are prescribed by healthcare professionals to target specific types of bacteria that are causing an infection. It is important to use antibiotics as directed and not for non-bacterial infections or conditions.
