Explanation:

Chloramine-T is a disinfectant. It is a water-soluble compound that can kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It is often used as a swimming pool disinfectant and as a topical antiseptic. Chloramine-T is not an antiuretic, analgesic, or antipyretic.

Here are some of the uses of chloramine-T:

  • Disinfectant for swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs
  • Topical antiseptic for cuts, scrapes, and burns
  • Eyewash
  • Gargle
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Preservative in food and beverages

Chloramine-T is generally safe when used as directed. However, it can cause some side effects, such as skin irritation, eye irritation, and nausea. If you experience any side effects, stop using chloramine-T and talk to your doctor.
