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 and triiodothyronine.

Has a bactericidal effect on both gram-positive and gram-negative flora (most active - on Streptococcus spp. and Escherichia coli), as well as pathogenic fungi and yeast. Most strains Staphylococcus spp. are stable. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is stable. The drug is low toxicity.
