Description

Each 200 ml povidone-iodine solution contains 20 g povidone-iodine, equivalent to 2 g available iodine.

Pharmacology

Povidone-lodine is an iodophor in which iodine is bound to the carrier molecule, povidone. The

complex, povidone-iodine, slowly liberates inorganic iodine when in contact with the skin and

mucous membranes. Only a small amount of iodine is released at any one time, giving

Povidone-lodine a lower irritant potential, and longer duration of microbicidal action than

conventional lodine solutions.

preoperative use on patients as an antiseptic cleanser or for general use as an antiseptic skin

Side Effects & Precautions
