In the case of non-hypnotic hyperthyroidism and other diseases of the thyroid gland (especially in elderly patients) the drug is used only under strict indications and under constant medical supervision.
In connection with the oxidative properties of povidone-iodine, its traces can lead to false-positive results of some types of studies for the detection of latent blood in stool,as well as blood or glucose in the urine.
During the application of povidone iodine, iodine uptake by the thyroid gland may decrease, which may affect the results of some diagnostic studies (eg, thyroid scintigraphy, determination of protein-bound iodine, measurements with radioactive iodine), and also interaction with iodine preparations used for the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland. To obtain undistorted results of thyroid scintigraphy after long-term povidone-iodine therapy, it is recommended to withstand a sufficiently long period of time without this drug.
If symptoms of hyperthyroidism occur during the course of treatment, the function of the thyroid gland should be checked.
