Betadine 10% what it is for

Betadine 10% concentrate and solvent for vaginal solution is an antiseptic for disinfecting the vaginal mucosa.

Active ingredient in Betadine 10%

The active ingredient of Betadine, Iodopovidone (10% Iodine), is active on Gram + and Gram - bacteria, fungi, protozoa, yeasts and some viruses.

Povidone iodone has the advantage, compared to elemental iodine, of being soluble in water and being less irritating, not sensitizing, not damaging skin and mucous membranes.

How Betadine 10% is used

Betadine 10% concentrate and solvent for vaginal solution can be used up to 2 times a day for internal irrigations. Thanks to its wide spectrum of action, it is able to neutralize the wide range of germs that in particular situations (for example wearing tight clothing or playing sports such as cycling and horse riding) can proliferate and cause irritation and inflammation of the vaginal mucosa (vaginitis ).

After pouring the contents of the vial into the bottle, insert the vaginal cannula and perform irrigation 1-2 times a day. After a suitable period of time without appreciable results, consult your doctor.

It's a medicine. Carefully read the leaflet. Medicines should be taken with caution, for a short period of time, not exceeding the recommended doses and only for the indications given on the package leaflet.

Betadine 10% In Pregnancy and Lactation

During pregnancy and lactation, povidone iodine solution should only be used if strictly necessary and at the lowest possible dose, due to the ability of iodine to cross the placenta and to be secreted into breast milk and due to its high sensitivity. of the fetus and newborn to iodine. Furthermore, iodine is more concentrated in breast milk than in whey. The use of povidone iodine can cause transient hypothyroidism with increased TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) in the fetus or neonate.

Interactions for Betadine 10%

Avoid the simultaneous use of other antiseptics and detergents. The polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex is effective at pH values between 2.0 and 7.0. It is possible that the complex reacts with proteins or other unsaturated organic compounds, and this leads to a reduction in its effectiveness. The concomitant use of preparations with enzymatic components for the treatment of wounds leads to a weakening of the effects of both substances. Povidone iodine should not be used simultaneously with products containing mercury salts or benzoin compounds, carbonates, tannic acid, alkali, hydrogen peroxide, taurolidine and silver. The use of products containing povidone iodine in conjunction with other antiseptics containing octedin in the same or adjacent sites may cause a temporary darkening of the affected areas. The oxidative effect of povidone-based preparations can cause false positive results of some diagnostic laboratory tests (for example, tests with toluidine or gum for the determination of hemoglobin or glucose in faeces or urine). Avoid habitual use in patients concomitantly treated with lithium. Absorption of iodine from povidone iodine solution may reduce thyroid iodine uptake. This can interfere with various tests (thyroid scintigraphy, determination of iodine binding proteins, radioactive iodine diagnostics) and may make a planned treatment of the thyroid with iodine (radioactive iodine therapy) impossible. After the end of the treatment, an adequate period of time must elapse before performing a new scintigraphy.
