Question : I accidentally brushed my teeth with acne medication - benzoyl peroxide. I rinsed my mouth and brushed with toothpaste. I don't believe ingested much if any. Any next steps?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting the query.
Need not worry for what ever happened.
Benzoil peroxide will not cause any side effects if consumed in very less quantity.

At the maximum some mouth or gastric irritation could be there. which can be over come by taking any antacids.


Any issue do follow up.

Take care.
