 |
|
| I'm just wondering if they sell Hydrogen Peroxide in pharmacies in South Korea. If so, how is it spelled in Korean (or would it be labelled in English)? |

You can get it at olive young, that drug store that doesn't actually sell drugs. Look for it near the first aid type supplies. White squeeze bottle with a yellow or green plastic top. The label is in english. Also probably available at grocery stores, again near the first aid supplies (band aids etc). |

| No need for a special store. Every pharmacy sells it. |

| Lotte Mart (and probably Emart, etc.) have it. 500 won for a small bottle, like 100ml. |

| Don't forget to get a decent extraction unit if you are cooking up meth. Don't want to gas yourself or cause a fire. |

To actually answer the question: all pharmacies have it.
It's called 과산화수소수 (Gwa-san-hwa-su-so-su)
300 won for a small bottle of the normal 3% stuff. |

It's known in our home as H2O2.
Wife used to be a nurse.
EDIT: I never heard of anyone use it in the UK. Can't believe my mother never told us about it; maybe it's a recent adition to Pharmacies if it's available in the UK. Fantastic stuff. |

| You shouldn't use hydrogen peroxide for first aid - It kills a lot of your cells - just use antibiotic ointment - not just an opinion, I'm an EMT. |

They are right. It is an oxidant and it does kill cells. You don't have to be a doctor to know that.
Got science skillz? |
