Povisep 6% Cream 25gm
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.
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.
