Excipients: macrogol 400, macrogol 4000, macrogol 1000, macrogol 1500, sodium bicarbonate, purified water.

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to iodine or suspicion of it or to other components of the preparation;
• patients with impaired thyroid function (nodular colloid goiter, endemic goiter and Hashimoto's thyroiditis);
• patients with hyperthyroidism or other acute thyroid disorders;
• before and after treatment and scintigraphy with radioactive iodine in patients with thyroid carcinoma;
• Dühring's dermatitis herpetiformis;
• renal failure.

Mode of application

The preparation is applied topically.

For the treatment of infections: Apply 1 or 2 times a day. The duration of treatment is no more than 14 days.

Application features

Pregnant

Povidone iodine should be used in cases strictly prescribed by the doctor, but in the smallest doses. Iodine crosses the placental barrier and can pass into breast milk, so there may be a risk of fetal or newborn hypersensitivity to iodine. Povidone iodine levels are higher in breast milk than in serum. Therefore, the preparation can cause hyperthyroidism or an increased level of theroid hormone in the fetus or newborn. There is a need to check the function of the thyroid gland in children. The preparation is contraindicated for use after the 2nd month of pregnancy and during lactation. During treatment, you must stop breastfeeding.

Children

For newborns and children under one year old, povidone-iodine can only be used on strict indications. High doses of iodine should be avoided in newborns and young children, as the skin is more perceptive and more susceptible to iodine, which increases the risk of developing hyperthyroidism. Povidone-iodine should be used in such patients in small doses. If necessary, monitor the function of the thyroid gland in children.

Drivers

This ointment does not affect the reaction rate when driving or operating machinery.

Overdose

In acute iodine intoxication, the following symptoms are characteristic: a metallic taste in the mouth, increased salivation, a burning sensation or pain in the mouth or throat; irritation and swelling in the eyes; skin reactions; gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea; impaired renal function and anuria; circulatory failure; laryngeal edema with secondary asphyxia, pulmonary edema, metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia.

Treatment: Symptomatic and supportive therapy should be carried out with special attention to electrolyte balance, kidney and thyroid function.

Side effects

From the immune system: hypersensitivity, anaphylactic reactions.

On the part of the kidneys and urinary system: impaired renal function, acute renal failure.

On the part of the skin and subcutaneous tissues: local skin hypersensitivity reactions, such as contact dermatitis with the formation of psoriasis-like red small bullous formations; allergic reactions, including itching, redness, rash, angioedema, exfoliative dermatitis, dry skin, chemical and thermal skin burns.

From the endocrine system: hyperthyroidism (sometimes with symptoms such as tachycardia or anxiety); hypothyroidism.

Metabolism and Eating Disorders: electrolyte imbalance; metabolic acidosis.

Long-term use of povidone iodine can lead to the absorption of large amounts of iodine.

In some cases, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism has been described as a result of prolonged use of the preparation, mainly in patients with an existing thyroid disease.

In some cases, generalized acute reactions with a decrease in blood pressure and / or difficulty breathing (anaphylactic reactions) are possible.

Storage conditions

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C, out of the reach of children.

Shelf life is 3 years.
