Pharmacology

Povidone Iodine may be a complex of iodine and a natural polymer, povidone, for the prevention and treatment of surface infections as well as to degerm the skin, mucous membrane, and hyperalimentation procedures. Due to this polymerization, Povidone Iodine is now more common than regular natural iodine. By gradually releasing natural iodine, it extends iodine's germicidal effects. It, therefore, has less harmfulness than natural iodine. It provides quick microbicidal action against infections, fungi/yeast, protozoa, and both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes. In addition, it is sporicidal. It is the only microbicide with such a broad spectrum of effectiveness. It is non-staining, exerts strong germicidal action, and is also responsive to water, cleanser, blood, serum, discharge, and mucosal discharges.

Administration & Dosage

Solution: 

• As often as necessary, paint, spray, or wet soak at full strength. possibly bandaged (where necessary).

Mouthwash & Gargle: 

• For adults and kids over the age of six: Use either straight up or with an equal amount of warm water. Without swallowing, gargle or rinse for up to 30 seconds with up to 10 mL. For up to 14 days, repeat up to four times per day, or as directed by a registered dental surgeon or physician.

Surgical Scrub:

• Operating Staff Should Wash Before and After Operations: Apply water to your hands and forearms. On the palm of the hand, apply 5 mL of Povidone Iodine Surgical Scrub, then cover the hands and forearms. Rub the Scrub vigorously over all areas for about five minutes without adding more water. Using a brush is optional. Clean your fingernails thoroughly. Add a little water and develop copious suds. Rinse completely with running water. Applying a further 5 mL of Povidone Iodine Surgical Scrub, in the same manner, will finish the wash.
• One mL of Povidone Iodine Surgical Scrub is enough to cover an area of 20 to 30 square inches. After applying it, work up a lather and scrub thoroughly for five minutes. Rinse with the help of sterile gauze that has been wetted.
• For use on patients prior to surgery: After the area of the skin has been shaved, wet it with water.
• For use in the Physician's Office: Use for washing whenever a germicidal soap is required.

Cream or ointment:

• For the treatment of infection: Apply once or twice daily or at dressing changes for a maximum of 14 days.
• For the prevention of infection: Apply once or twice a week for as long as necessary. The affected skin should be cleaned and dried and can be covered with a dressing or bandage.

Side Effects

Povidone Iodine may cause hypersensitivity reactions and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.

It may interfere with thyroid function tests.
