Povidone-Iodine
Antiseptic
Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Proviodine is iodine complexed with povidone (polyvinyl-pyrrolidone). The compound is soluble in water forming a golden brown solution. Like iodine, the solution of the iodine complex is bactericidal and fungicidal. However, unlike solutions of iodine, it is non-staining. The antiseptic action of povidone-iodine solutions is due to the available iodine present in the complex.
Indications And Clinical Uses: Derma: Useful as a topical antimicrobial in preventing infections in lacerations, minor cuts, abrasions and burns caused by iodine susceptible pathogenic organisms. Helps prevent acute and chronic inflammatory infections such as in acne vulgaris. In pyodermas, as a topical adjunct to systemic antimicrobial therapy.
Detergent: Pre and postoperative scrubbing or washing. General antiseptic use.
Douche: For nonspecific vaginitis, vaginitis and vulvovaginitis associated with Trichomonas vaginalis and monilial infection. Routine cleansing douche and deodorant. Adjunctive use in preoperative vaginal prepping.
Hydro: Not intended for topical application but may be used as an additional antiseptic measure for hydrotherapy baths.
Ointment: First aid antisepsis in abrasions, cuts, minor burns, bacterial or mycotic dermatoses. The treatment of infected wounds and lacerations.
Ovules: For nonspecific vaginitis, vaginitis and vulvovaginitis associated with Trichomonas vaginalis and monilial infection.
Solution: Pre and postoperative skin and mucous membrane antisepsis. For disinfection and prevention of infection in abrasions, cuts, burns and wounds. For oral infections (stomatitis, etc.) and dental procedures.
Vaginal Gel: For nonspecific vaginitis, vaginitis and vulvovaginitis associated with Trichomonas vaginalis and monilial infection.
Precautions: Use with caution in patients known to be allergic to iodine. If irritation, redness or swelling develops, discontinue use of the product and institute appropriate measures. Blue stains on starched linen will wash off with soap and water.
Lactation: Povidone-iodine as vaginal douche may produce elevated breast milk iodine levels.
Adverse Reactions: Although rare, local hypersensitivity reactions have occurred. Serum PBI may increase temporarily in some patients after topical application of povidone-iodine.
Dosage And Administration: Derma: Wet affected skin areas. Apply a sufficient amount of Proviodine Derma and work up rich lather. Allow lather 2 to 3 minutes contact with the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly. Does not stain skin or natural fabrics.

For additional antiseptic protection, paint operating site with undiluted Proviodine Solution. Allow to dry for a few minutes.

Ovules: Insert 1 ovule high into the vagina preferably at bedtime. The use of the applicator is optional. Treatment is usually for 20 consecutive days and must be continued even during menstruation. Repeat treatment if necessary.
