sodium perborate
sodium perborate is a sodium perborate drug. It is currently in unknown development.
Sodium perborate works by releasing hydrogen peroxide, which is thought to have antimicrobial properties.
Sodium perborate is a small molecule with the chemical formula [Na+]2[B2O4(OH)4]2−(H2O)x, commonly encountered in anhydrous and hexahydrate forms. It has been studied in various clinical trials for conditions such as malocclusion, cytotoxicity, dental trauma, and tooth discoloration, often in combination with products like Invisalign Cleaning Crystals, Fittey Dent Cleaning Tablet, and Listeren Mouthwash.

Mechanism of action
Think of it like a strong cleaning agent that helps kill germs and bacteria. When sodium perborate is present, it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, which then helps to destroy the outer membranes of microorganisms, ultimately killing them. This process is similar to how bleach works to sanitize surfaces.
