Pharmacological action

An antiseptic drug. Blocks amino groups of cellular proteins. It has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action. Active against bacteria (including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), fungi, viruses, protozoa. The Active ingredient of the drug — iodine-is in the form of a complex with polyvinylpyrrolidone (povidone), which belongs to iodophores that bind iodine. The concentration of active iodine is 0.1-1%. Upon contact with the skin and mucous membranes, iodine is gradually and evenly released, exerting a bactericidal effect on microorganisms. At the site of application, a thin colored layer remains, which remains until the entire amount of iodine is released. Absorption and distributionw Hen povidone-iodine comes into contact with the mucous membrane, it is possible to absorb iodine and increase its content in the blood (the concentration returns to its original value 7-14 days after the last use of the drug). In patients with normal thyroid function, increased iodine absorption does not cause significant changes in its hormonal function. Excretion Iod is mainly excreted by the kidneys. The half-life (T1/2) after intravaginal use is approximately 48 hours.

Indications

• acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases of the vagina (trichomonas, fungal, viral, non-specific, mixed infections);
• bacterial vaginitis;
• prevention of infectious and inflammatory complications before gynecological interventions (artificial termination of pregnancy, installation and removal of the intrauterine device, diathermocoagulation of the cervix, hysterosalpingography, and others).

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
• thyrotoxicosis;
• herpetiform dermatitis Duhring;
• thyroid adenoma;
• simultaneous therapy with radioactive iodine;
• neonatal period (especially in premature infants).

With caution:

• chronic renal failure;
• pregnancy (II and III trimester);
• breast-feeding.

Side effects

Special instructions

In the presence of blood, the bactericidal effect of povidone-iodine may decrease. In the case of non-manifest hyperthyroidism and other thyroid diseases (especially in elderly patients), the drug is used only under strict indications and under constant medical supervision. Due to the oxidative properties of povidone-iodine, traces of it can lead to false positive results for some types of tests to detect hidden blood in the stool, as well as blood or glucose in the urine. During the use of povidone-iodine, the absorption of iodine by the thyroid gland may decrease, which may affect the results of certain diagnostic studies (for example, thyroid scintigraphy, determination of protein-bound iodine, measurements using radioactive iodine), and interaction with iodine preparations used to treat thyroid diseases is also possible. To obtain undistorted results of thyroid scintigraphy after long-term therapy with povidone-iodine, it is recommended to maintain a sufficiently long period of time without this drug. If symptoms of hyperthyroidism occur during the course of treatment, it is necessary to check the function of the thyroid gland. Caution should be exercised when using the drug regularly in patients with previously diagnosed renal insufficiency. Regular use of Iodoxide® should be avoided in patients receiving lithium preparations. Caution is recommended when administering vaginal suppositories to virgins. Staining on leather and fabrics is easily washed off with water. Suppositories have a spermicidal effect, and therefore their use in persons planning pregnancy is not recommended. During the use of suppositories, the use of sanitary pads can be recommended. After contact with the drug, avoid contact with the eyes.
