Additional Information for Povidone-Iodine Gel
Povidone-Iodine Gel is a type of antiseptic gel that contains the active ingredient povidone-iodine. It is commonly used in medical, dental, and veterinary settings for disinfection and wound care purposes.
Povidone-iodine is a complex of iodine and a water-soluble polymer called povidone. It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, meaning it can effectively kill a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. This makes it an effective choice for preventing and treating infections.
The gel formulation of povidone-iodine allows for easy application and adherence to the affected area. It is typically used for cleaning and disinfecting wounds, burns, and surgical incisions. The gel can also be used for pre-operative skin preparation, as well as for disinfecting medical instruments and surfaces.
Povidone-Iodine Gel is available in various concentrations, ranging from 5% to 10%. The appropriate concentration to use depends on the specific application and the recommendation of a healthcare professional.
It is important to note that povidone-iodine should not be used on individuals with known iodine allergies or thyroid disorders, as it may cause adverse reactions. Additionally, it should not be used on deep wounds or puncture wounds, as it may delay wound healing.
As with any medication or medical supply, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for proper usage instructions and precautions.
