Application features
Pregnant women
PVIod should not be used during pregnancy.
Iodine can pass into breast milk. The detected iodine concentrations in the blood and urine of breast-fed infants were many times higher than those observed in their mothers who used povidone-iodine. High serum iodine concentrations can lead to the development of congenital hypothyroidism in breast-fed infants, therefore povidone-iodine should not be used during breast-feeding.
Children
Use for the treatment of children aged 8 and over.
Children aged 8 to 12 years should use the drug under the supervision of a physician.
Children should use the drug with caution, given the possibility of laryngospasm.
Drivers
The use of the drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or other mechanisms.
Overdose
With proper local application of the drug in the oral cavity or pharynx, no cases of overdose were observed. However, in the case of swallowing iodine solution, acute poisoning developed. Patients initially felt a metallic taste in the oral cavity, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea began. Within 1-3 days, anuria, swelling of the glottis with subsequent asphyxia, aspiration pneumonia or pulmonary edema were observed. In some cases, even severe circulatory disorders were observed.
Treatment is symptomatic and initially includes standard measures to prevent further absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. The patient should drink milk and brewed starch. If the esophagus is not damaged, gastric lavage can be performed. In addition, activated charcoal and a 1-5% solution of sodium thiosulfate should be taken, which ensures the reduction of iodine to iodide. There is no specific antidote.
Side effects
The drug is usually well tolerated.
The frequency of adverse events was assessed according to the following principle: very common (> 1/10), common (≥ 1/100, <1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1000, <1/100), rare (≥ 1/10000, <1/1000), very rare (<1/10000), including isolated reports.
On the part of the immune system: very rarely - symptoms of hypersensitivity, anaphylactic shock.
From the gastrointestinal tract: rarely - dry mouth.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: rarely - allergic reactions to iodine may occur, requiring discontinuation of the drug: itching, hyperemia, urticaria. Very rarely - angioedema.
General disorders and administration site conditions: common: burning sensation at the application site (especially in children), dry mouth.
Damage, poisoning and complications during the procedure: iodism (metallic taste in the mouth, increased salivation, swelling of the eyes, larynx, lungs, skin rash, gastrointestinal disorders, systemic side effects in the form of metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia, impaired renal function, diarrhea) after prolonged use.
Storage conditions
Store in the original packaging at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C, out of the reach of children.
