SALT COMPOSITION
Povidone Iodine 10.00 %
Povidone Iodine
  • Povidone-iodine (PVP-I), also known as iodopovidone,
  • POVIDONE IODINE is used on the skin to decrease risk of infection.
  • The microbicidal action spectrum of povidone iodine (PI) is broad, even after short exposure times. Further, unlike local antibiotics and other antiseptic substances, no resistance seems to develop. The high degree of bactericidal efficiency with respect to highly resistant gram-positivepathogenic micro-organisms, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus strains, has made the agent particularly useful and significant for hospital hygiene.
  • Povidone iodine has traditionally been used by surgeons as a preoperative antiseptic. Cheaper than topical antibiotics, it is recognized as a staple solution for preparing the eye for surgery.
Uses
  • This medicine is also used as a surgical hand scrub and to wash the skin and surface of the eye before surgery to help prevent infections.
  • POVIDONE IODINE is an antiseptic used for skin disinfection before and after surgery. It may be used both to disinfect the hands of healthcare providers and the skin of the person they are caring for.
  •  It may also be used for minor wounds. It may be applied to the skin as a liquid or a powder.  It may be used in first aid for minor cuts, grazes, burns, abrasions and blisters.
  • Povidone-iodine exhibits longer lasting antiseptic effects than tincture of iodine, due to its slow absorption via soft tissue, making it the choice for longer surgeries. Chlorhexidine provides similar results, but with equal toxicity concerns.
  • Consequently, PVP-I has found broad application in medicine as a surgical scrub; for pre- and post-operative skin cleansing; for the treatment and prevention of infections in wounds, ulcers, cuts and burns; for the treatment of infections in decubitus ulcers and stasis ulcers; in gynaecology or vaginitis associated with candidal, trichomonal or mixed infections. For these purposes PVP-I has been formulated at concentrations of 7.5–10.0% in solution, spray, surgical scrub, ointment, and swab dosage forms.
Side Effects
  • Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.
  • Redness.
Precautions / Concerns
  • Iodine hypersensitivity :- Patients with a sensitivity to any of the product components, including those individuals with a known iodine hypersensitivity, should not receive treatment with povidone-iodine.
  • Thyroid disease :- Use of povidone-iodine solutions may rarely result in significant iodine absorption, particularly with prolonged use ; therefore, depending on the circumstances of use and route of administration, caution is advised when administering povidone-iodine to patients with thyroid disease.
  • Ocular exposure :- Take measures to ensure povidone-iodine topical products do not come into contact with the eyes. If ocular exposure occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water. When preparing the field for ophthalmic surgery, only specialized povidone-iodine preparations should be used.
  • Burns, renal impairment :- Povidone-iodine is indicated for prevention of infection in patients with minor burns, cuts, and scrapes. Instruct patients to seek the advice of their doctor or health care professional prior to administering povidone-iodine to deep puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns
  • Pregnancy :- It is not known if administration of the ophthalmic preparation to a pregnant woman can cause fetal harm or affect the reproductive system. Povidone-iodine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus; non-prescription use should be avoided.
  • Breast-feeding :- A decision should be made to discontinue nursing or discontinue povidone-iodine, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Topical use of povidone-iodine immediately prior to delivery has resulted in iodine overload in breast-feeding infants in the postpartum period, and may lead to transient hypothyroidism. Chlorhexidine has been proposed as an alternative agent when perinatal application has been needed.
