Is there a medicine by the name of hydergen?

are you talking about hydrogen peroxide? its the stuff you pout on cuts and abrasions to clean bacteria out.

no but it s called hydrogen peroxideHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a very pale blue liquid which appears clear in a dilute solution, slightly more viscous than water. It has strong oxidizing properties and is therefore a powerful bleaching agent that has found use as a disinfectant, as an oxidizer, and in rocketry (particularly in high concentrations as high-test peroxide (HTP) as a monopropellant), and in bipropellant systems.Therapeutic useHydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial agent for many years. While its use has decreased in recent years due to the popularity of better-smelling and more readily-available over the counter products, it is still used by many hospitals, doctors and dentists in sterilising, cleaning and treating everything from floors to Root canal procedures.Recently, alternative medical practitioners have advocated administering doses of hydrogen peroxide intravenously in extremely low (less than one percent) concentrations for hydrogen peroxide therapy — a controversial alternative medical treatment for cancer. However, according to the American Cancer Society, “there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a safe, effective or useful cancer treatment.” They advise cancer patients to “remain in the care of qualified doctors who use proven methods of treatment and approved clinical trials of promising new treatments.” [2] Internal use of hydrogen peroxide has a history of causing fatal blood disorders, and its recent use as a therapeutic treatment has been linked to several deaths.[3],[4]Hydrogen peroxide is GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and more by the US Food and Drug Administration.[5] Hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a toothpaste when mixed with correct quantities of baking soda and salt.[6] Like benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide is also sometimes used in the treatment of acne.Hydrogen peroxide is also used as an emetic in veterinary practice.

An improved version of this process used hydrochloric acid, followed by sulfuric acid to precipitate the barium chloride byproduct. Thenard’s process was used from the end of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century. [1] Modern manufacture methods are discussed below.[edit] Uses[edit] Industrial applicationsAbout 50% of the world’s production of hydrogen peroxide in 1994 was used for pulp- and paper-bleaching. Other bleaching applications are becoming more important as hydrogen peroxide is seen as an environmentally-benign alternative to chlorine-based bleaches.Other major industrial applications for hydrogen peroxide include the manufacture of sodium percarbonate and sodium perborate, used as mild bleaches in laundry detergents. It is used in the production of certain organic peroxides such as dibenzoyl peroxide, used in polymerisations and other chemical processes. Hydrogen peroxide is also used in the production of epoxides such as propylene oxide. Reaction with carboxylic acids produces a corresponding “per-acid”. Peracetic Meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acids are prepared from acetic acid and meta-chlorobenzoic acid, respectively.[edit] Domestic usesDiluted H2O2 (around 5%) is used to bleach human hair, hence the phrases peroxide blonde and bottle blonde. It can absorb into skin upon contact and create a local skin capillary embolism which appears as a temporary whitening of the skin. It whitens skeletons that are to be put on display. 3% H2O2 is used medically for cleaning wounds and removing dead tissue. The Food and Drug Administration has approved 3% hydrogen peroxide (“Food-Grade,” or without added chemical stabilisers) as a mouthwash. Most over-the-counter peroxide solutions are not, however, suitable for ingestion.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified hydrogen peroxide as a Low Regulatory Priority (LRP) drug for use in controlling fungus on fish and fish eggs. See ectoparasite.Some gardeners and hydroponics implementers have professed the value of hydrogen peroxide in their watering solutions. They claim its spontaneous decomposition releases oxygen to the plant that can enhance root development and also help treat root rot, which is cellular root death due to lack of oxygen. Laboratory tests conducted by fish culturists in recent years have demonstrated that common household hydrogen-peroxide can be used safely to provide oxygen for small fish. Citation Reference Hydrogen-peroxide releases oxygen by decomposition when it is exposed to catalysts.Hydrogen peroxide is increasingly popular for the treatment of hydrogen sulfide and iron. Catalytic carbon and redox media perform well with hydrogen peroxide pretreatment. Generally 90% of the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen sulfide takes place within 10 to 15 minutes, with the balance reacting in an additional 20 to 30 minutes. The sulfur in hydrogen sulfide H2S) is in the -2 state. In a neutral solution, hydrogen peroxide will oxidize hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur via the following reaction: 8 H2S(g) + 8 H2O2(aq) → S8(s) + 16 H2O(l)The reaction is slow but catalyzed by metal ions catalyze the reaction. To be more specific for doses of chemical feed levels for oxidation of iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide in domestic water supplies, here are some figures: Iron: For each ppm Fe feed = 0.3 – 0.5 ppm, 20 minutes Manganese: For each ppm Mn feed = 0.8 – 1.0 ppm, 20 minutes Hydrogen Sulfide: For each ppm H2S feed = 1.0 – 1.5 ppm, 30 minutes (all above figures are for minimum retention time). When more than one constituent is to be oxidized (i.e. iron & H2S) add the above values to determine the total ppm feed needed to oxidize two or more.Hydrogen peroxide is strong oxidizer effective in controlling sulfide and organic related odors in wastewater collection and treatment systems. It is typically applied to a wastewater system most frequently where there is a retention time of less than five hours and at least 30 minutes prior to the point where the hydrogen sulfide is released. Hydrogen peroxide will oxidize the hydrogen sulfide present and in addition promote bio-oxidation of organic odors. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to oxygen and water adding dissolved oxygen to the system thereby reducing Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).Commercial peroxide, as bought at the drugstore in a 2.5%-3% solution, can be used to remove bloodstains from carpets and clothing. If a few tablespoons of peroxide are poured onto the stain, they will bubble up in the area of the blood. After a few minutes the excess liquid can be wiped up with a cloth or paper towel and the stain will be gone. Care should be taken, however, as hydrogen peroxide will bleach or discolor many fabrics.Hydrogen peroxide is used in glow sticks as an oxidising agent. It reacts with phenyl oxalate ester to form an unstable CO2 dimer which in turn causes an added dye to reach an excited state, the latter relaxing to release photons of light.[edit] StorageSmall quantities of many different concentrations and grades can be legally stored and used with few regulations.Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in a container made from a material that doesn’t react with the chemical. Numerous materials and processes are available, and these vary based on the concentration and grade (purity) of the hydrogen peroxide. In general, it is an oxidizer and should be stored away from fuel sources and sources of catalytic contamination. Because oxygen is formed during the natural decomposition of the peroxide, the resulting increase in pressure can cause a glass container to break. Therfore, H2O2 should be stored in plastic containers.[edit] Use as propellantH2O2 can be used either as a monopropellant (not mixed with fuel) or as the oxidizer component of a bipropellant rocket. Use as a monopropellant takes advantage of the decomposition of 70–98+% concentration hydrogen peroxide into steam and oxygen. The propellant is pumped into a reaction chamber where a catalyst (usually a silver or platinum screen) triggers decomposition, and the hot (>600 °C) oxygen/steam produced is used directly for thrust. H2O2 monopropellant produces a maximum specific impulse (Isp) of 161 s (1.6 kN·s/kg), which makes it a low-performance monopropellant. Compared to hydrazine, peroxide is less toxic, but it is also much less powerful. The famous Bell Rocket Belt used hydrogen peroxide monopropellant.As a bipropellant, H2O2 is decomposed to burn a fuel as an oxidizer. Specific impulses as high as 350 s (3.5 kN·s/kg) can be achieved, depending on the fuel. Peroxide used as an oxidizer gives a somewhat lower Isp than liquid oxygen, but is dense, storable, noncryogenic and can be more easily used to drive gas turbines to give high pressures. It also can be used for regenerative cooling of rocket engines. Peroxide was used very successfully as an oxidizer for early World-War-II era German rockets, and for the low-cost British launchers, Black Knight and Black Arrow.In the 1940s and 1950s, the Walter turbine used hydrogen peroxide for use in submarines while submerged; it was found to be too noisy and maintenance-demanding compared to the conventional diesel-electric power system. Some torpedoes used hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer or propellant, but this use has been discontinued by most navies for safety reasons. Hydrogen peroxide leaks were blamed for the sinkings of HMS Sidon and the Russian submarine Kursk. It was discovered, for example, by the Japanese Navy in torpedo trials, that the concentration of H2O2 in right-angle bends in HTP pipework can often lead to explosions in submarines and torpedoes.While its application as a monopropellant for large engines has waned, small thrusters for attitude control that run on hydrogen peroxide are still in use on some satellites, and provide benefits on the spacecraft, making it easier to throttle and safer loading and handling of fuel before launch (as compared to hydrazine monopropellant). However, hydrazine is a more popular monopropellent in spacecraft because of its higher specific impulse and lower rate of decomposition.[edit] Therapeutic useHydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial agent for many years. While its use has decreased in recent years due to the popularity of better-smelling and more readily-available over the counter products, it is still used by many hospitals, doctors and dentists in sterilising, cleaning and treating everything from floors to Root canal procedures.Recently, alternative medical practitioners have advocated administering doses of hydrogen peroxide intravenously in extremely low (less than one percent) concentrations for hydrogen peroxide therapy — a controversial alternative medical treatment for cancer.
