Overview

Hydrochloric acid is a strong inorganic acid used in various medical contexts. Topically, it has been investigated for its role in maintaining skin surface pH and improving epidermal barrier function, particularly in conditions like atopic dermatitis. It has also been explored for its antiseptic properties, such as in the treatment of central venous catheter infections. Furthermore, it is studied for its physiological effects, including its impact on pulmonary pressure when aspirated and its potential to induce bronchial spasm when inhaled. In some clinical trials, it serves as a control or a component of other therapeutic agents.
