✅ Description:
Povidone Iodine is a complex of iodine and the organic polymer povidone, which enhances its properties compared to elemental iodine. This polymerization allows for a prolonged germicidal effect as it slowly releases elemental iodine, resulting in lower toxicity. It exhibits rapid microbicidal activity against a wide spectrum of pathogens, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and fungi/yeasts, and is also sporicidal. It remains effective even in the presence of soap, blood, serum, pus, mucosal secretions, and water, without staining. Povimax may not be safe during pregnancy due to limited human studies and known harmful effects in animal studies. Discuss with your doctor for a risk-benefit assessment. Povimax is generally safe for breastfeeding, as it does not significantly enter breast milk and poses no harm to the infant.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Povimax Antiseptic Cream
Cream or Ointment:
- Infection Treatment: Apply once or twice daily or at dressing changes for up to 14 days.
- Infection Prevention: Apply once or twice weekly as needed, ensuring the affected skin is clean and dry. It can be covered with a dressing or bandage.
✔️ Side Effects of Povimax Antiseptic Cream
Povimax may cause hypersensitivity reactions and irritation of skin and mucous membranes. Use on severe burns or large areas of denuded skin may result in systemic adverse effects, including metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia, and impaired renal function. It may also affect thyroid function tests.
✔️ Interactions
Povidone Iodine may interact with strong alkalis, sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and thiomersal. Concurrent use of lithium may induce hypothyroidic effects.
✔️ Contraindications
- Can cause hypersensitivity reactions; avoid regular use in patients with thyroid disorders (e.g., nodular colloid goiter, endemic goiter, Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and those on lithium therapy.
- Not for use in infants under 2 years of age.
- Special caution is required for patients with pre-existing renal insufficiency when using regularly on broken skin.
✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation
- Not recommended during pregnancy due to potential iodine absorption affecting the fetal thyroid. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers Povidone Iodine generally compatible with breastfeeding; however, consultation with a physician is advised. Regular use of Gargle & Mouthwash and Surgical Scrub should also be avoided in pregnant and lactating women. The safety of Povidone eye drops in pregnancy and lactation has not been established, and their use is not recommended unless necessary.
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
Cream or Ointment: Consult a physician for deep or puncture wounds or serious burns. Discontinue use and consult if redness, irritation, swelling, or pain worsens or if infection occurs.
✔️ Storage Conditions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contaminating the ophthalmic solution dropper tip. Do not use the solution after one month from the first opening.
