Description
Trade name:
Betadine
Compound:
Each 100 ml of solution contains:
Povidone-iodine 10 g
Properties:
Antiseptic and disinfectant. When released from a complex with polyvinylpyrrolidone upon contact with skin and mucous membranes, iodine forms iodamines with bacterial cell proteins, coagulates them and causes the death of microorganisms. It has a rapid bactericidal effect on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (except for mycobacterium tuberculosis). It is also active against fungi, viruses and protozoa.
It has a longer lasting effect compared to inorganic iodine solution.
Indications:
– treatment and prevention of wound infections in surgery, traumatology, combustiology, dentistry;
– treatment of bacterial, fungal and viral skin infections, prevention of superinfection in dermatological practice;
– treatment of bedsores, trophic ulcers, diabetic foot;
– disinfection of the skin and mucous membranes of patients in preparation for surgical interventions, invasive studies (including punctures, biopsies, injections);
-disinfection of the skin around drains, catheters, probes;
-disinfection of the oral cavity during dental operations;
– disinfection of the birth canal during minor gynecological surgeries (including artificial termination of pregnancy, insertion of an intrauterine device, coagulation of erosion and polyps).
Method of administration and dosage:
A 10% solution for external use for treating skin and mucous membranes is used undiluted for lubrication, rinsing or as a wet compress.
For use in drainage systems, the solution is diluted 10 to 100 times.
Contraindications:
– hyperthyroidism;
– thyroid adenoma;
-heart failure;
– chronic renal failure;
-Duhring’s dermatitis herpetiformis;
– simultaneous use of radioactive iodine;
– premature and newborn babies;
-pregnancy;
-lactation;
– hypersensitivity to iodine and other components of the drug.
Precautions:
If side effects develop, the drug must be discontinued.
The presence of blood and pus may reduce the antimicrobial effect of the drug.
Do not use on bites of insects, domestic or wild animals.
The patient should be warned about the need to consult a doctor if systemic reactions occur.
A colored film is formed at the site of application, which remains until the entire amount of active iodine is released, i.e. its disappearance means the drug has ceased to act. The color on the skin and tissues is easily washed off with water.
Do not heat before use.
Side effects:
Possible: allergic reactions.
Local reactions: in some cases, allergic reactions to iodine – hyperemia, burning, itching, swelling, pain (requires discontinuation of the drug).
Systemic reactions: when applied to a large area of the wound surface and mucous membranes, systemic reabsorption of iodine is possible, which can cause neutropenia and also change the results of thyroid function tests; with prolonged use (more than 7-10 days), iodism may occur (including a metallic taste in the mouth, increased salivation, swelling of the eyelids or larynx).
Storage method:
Store at temperatures not exceeding 30 degrees.
Package:
The cardboard box contains a 60 ml plastic bottle and paper instructions.
