Antiseptic is different with antibiotics or disinfectants, in which antibiotics is used to stop microorganisms inside body, meanwhile disinfectants is used to stop microorganisms in the non-living objects. It is because antiseptic is much safer to be applied in a living tissue rather than disinfectants, the use of disinfectants is more intended to a non-living object, for example in a sink or table. But, an antiseptic which is too strong and can cause irritation in tissue, possible to be used as disinfectants, for instance, phenol, which can be used as an antiseptic and disinfectants. The use of disinfectants is strongly recommended when an epidemic of disease occurs, because it can slow the spread of disease.
