A member asked:

If grandma accidentally swallowed instead of spit out peroxyl, will she get sick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Peroxyl ingestion: Peroxyl (1.5% hydrogen peroxide antiseptic original mint) is made to be put into your mouth. With any intra-oral application it is always expected that some will go down your digestive tract. There is no need to worry about grandma getting sick.
