What is Povidone Iodine

Povidone-iodineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryPovidone-iodine is a combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone and iodine which is used as an antiseptic. It was discovered in 1955 and has since become the preferred iodine antiseptic. It contains 9.0-12.0% available iodine and is less toxic to humans than tincture of iodine. Clinical trials have shown that it is more effective than other iodine formulations.

Effectiveness

How Povidone Iodine Affects PatientsPovidone iodine is a type of iodine-based disinfectant that has been shown to be effective in killing various kinds of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. It is used for disinfection and sterilization, but can be toxic to humans in high doses. Povidone-iodine aqueous solution has been shown to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, syphilis, hepatitis B virus, HIV, and Trichomonas vaginalis. Povidone iodine gel is used top
How Povidone Iodine works in the bodyPovidone-iodine works by releasing iodine to attack bacteria. The iodine penetrates the cell walls of the bacteria, disrupting their proteins and nucleic acids. It also deactivates enzymes and counteracts inflammation in the body. In the body, it helps to modulate the redox potential, and inhibits the release of inflammatory molecules. It also helps to activate cells that help heal the body and promote inflammation.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested dosage of Povidone Iodine is dependent on the determined condition, such as prepping of the periocular area, Irrigation and Disinfection. The amount of dosage is contingent upon the method of delivery (e.g. Douche or Topical) detailed in the table beneath.
