Iodine - instructions for use, dose, side effects, contraindications

Antiseptic. The main active substance is molecular iodine, which has an antiseptic property. When applied to large areas of the skin iodine has a resorptive effect: actively affects the metabolism, enhances the processes of dissimilation, participates in the synthesis of thyroxine, has a proteolytic effect. Alcohol slows the excretion of iodine and reduces its irritating effect on tissues.

It has a bactericidal effect on both gram-positive and gram-negative flora (most active in streptococcal flora and Escherichia coli), as well as pathogenic fungi and yeast. A more stable flora is staphylococcus, but with prolonged use of the drug in 80% of cases, staphylococcal flora is suppressed. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is stable. The drug is low toxicity.Has a local irritating and distracting effect.

Pharmacokinetics:

Upon contact with the skin, it is converted into iodides by 30%, and the rest into active iodine. Partially absorbed. The adsorbed part penetrates into tissues and organs, is selectively absorbed by the thyroid gland. It is allocated by kidneys (mainly), intestines, sweat glands, with milk during lactation.

Indications:

Infectious and inflammatory skin diseases, abrasions, cuts, microtrauma, wounds; myositis, neuralgia, inflammatory infiltrates; treatment of the edges of wounds, skin before injections, punctures, catheterization.

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity, thyrotoxicosis, herpetiform dermatitis.

Carefully:

Pregnancy, lactation, children's age.

Pregnancy and lactation:

In pregnancy and during lactation apply only if the intended benefit to the mother exceeds the potential risk to the fetus and the baby.

Dosing and Administration:

External, lubricate the affected or subject to treatment areas of the skin.

Side effects:

Skin irritation, allergic reactions (itchy skin), with prolonged use on extensive surfaces - iodism (rhinitis, urticaria,Edema Quincke, drooling, lacrimation, acne).

Overdose:

Possible phenomena of iodism, skin irritation, burn.

Interaction:

Pharmaceutically incompatible with essential oils, solutions of ammonia, white sedimentary mercury (an explosive mixture is formed).

Special instructions:

Light and temperature above 40 ° C accelerate the decay of active iodine.

The drug should have a dark brown color. Discoloration of the solution indicates the destruction of the complex with the transition of active iodine to iodide ion and reduces the effectiveness of the drug. Incompatible with enzymes, reducing agents and alkalis.

Alkaline or acidic medium, the presence of fat, pus, blood weaken antiseptic activity.

Avoid contact with eyes.

The use of the drug according to the instructions for medical use does not adversely affect the performance of hazardous activities requiring special attention and quick reactions.

Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:

With external application does not affect the ability to manage vehicles and other potentially hazardous activities.
