Povidone-Iodine (Solution, Suppositories) Instructions for Use
ATC Code
D08AG02 (Povidone-iodine)
Active Substance
Povidone-iodine (BAN accepted for use in the United Kingdom)
Clinical-Pharmacological Group
Antiseptic for external and topical use
Pharmacotherapeutic Group
Antiseptic
Pharmacological Action
Antiseptic and disinfectant agent. When released from the complex with polyvinylpyrrolidone upon contact with the 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 effective against fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
Pharmacokinetics
With topical application, almost no absorption of iodine occurs.
Indications
Treatment and prevention of wound infections in surgery, traumatology, combustiology, and 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 operations (including artificial termination of pregnancy, insertion of an IUD, coagulation of erosion and polyp). For hygienic treatment of the hands of surgeons and medical personnel.

Dosage Regimen
| The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen. |
For solution, apply a sufficient quantity to cover the affected area or wound. Use for preoperative skin disinfection by applying and allowing to dry. For wound irrigation, use as directed. The regimen is individual and depends on the indication and severity.
For chronic wounds or ulcers, irrigate or apply with gauze. For disinfection of mucous membranes in gynecology and dentistry, apply as per procedural guidelines. For hand hygiene, apply 5 ml and rub over all surfaces for the recommended contact time.
For suppositories, administer intravaginally once or twice daily, typically in the morning and evening. The usual course of treatment is 7 to 14 days, but the duration is determined individually based on clinical response.
Continue using the suppositories during menstruation. Insert the suppository high into the vagina while lying down. Adhere strictly to the prescribed frequency and duration to ensure efficacy and prevent recurrence.
Avoid concurrent use with other topical antiseptics or detergents. Do not apply occlusive dressings over the treated area. Discontinue use immediately and consult a physician if signs of local irritation or hypersensitivity, such as redness, itching, or swelling, occur.
Adverse Reactions
Possible with frequent application over a large area of the wound surface and mucous membranes, systemic resorption of iodine may occur, which may affect thyroid function tests.
Hypersensitivity reactions, manifestations of an allergic reaction (hyperemia, burning, itching, swelling, pain) are possible, which requires discontinuation of povidone-iodine.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to iodine; thyroid dysfunction (hyperthyroidism); thyroid adenoma; Duhring’s herpetiformis dermatitis; simultaneous use of radioactive iodine; premature and newborn infants.
With caution
Chronic renal failure, pregnancy, breastfeeding period.
Use in Pregnancy and Lactation
The use of povidone-iodine is not recommended from the 3rd month of pregnancy and during lactation (breastfeeding). If necessary in these cases, treatment is possible under individual medical supervision.
Use in Renal Impairment
Caution should be exercised with regular application to damaged skin in patients with chronic renal failure.
Pediatric Use
Contraindication: premature and newborn infants.
Geriatric Use
Use with caution in elderly patients to avoid the risk of exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Special Precautions
In case of thyroid dysfunction, the use of the drug is possible only under strict medical supervision.
Caution should be exercised with regular application to damaged skin in patients with chronic renal failure.
A colored film forms at the application site, which persists until the entire amount of active iodine is released, which means the cessation of the active substance’s action.
Staining on the skin and tissues is easily washed off with water.
Do not use for insect bites, domestic and wild animal bites.
Drug Interactions
Incompatible with other antiseptic agents, especially those containing alkalis, enzymes, and mercury.
In the presence of blood, the bactericidal effect may decrease; however, with an increase in the concentration of the active substance, the bactericidal activity may be increased.
Storage Conditions
Store at 2°C (36°F) to 30°C (86°F). Keep in original packaging, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispensing Status
Over-the-Counter
