🧪 Composition

Active Ingredient: Povidone Iodine IP
Concentration: 10% w/v or 7.5% w/v
Form: Topical solution
Color: Reddish-brown iodine tint

Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) is a complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone and elemental iodine, designed to deliver sustained antimicrobial activity while minimizing iodine toxicity. It is widely recognized for its broad-spectrum efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, protozoa, spores, and enveloped viruses.

🔬 Mechanism of Action

Iodine acts by penetrating microbial cell walls and disrupting protein and nucleic acid structure through oxidation.
This leads to rapid cell death, making PVP-I effective even against resistant strains and biofilms.
The polyvinylpyrrolidone carrier ensures slow release of iodine, reducing irritation and prolonging antiseptic action.

🧴 Formulation Strengths

10% Povidone Iodine Solution: Used for pre-operative skin disinfection, wound irrigation, and surface antisepsis.
7.5% Povidone Iodine Solution: Commonly used as a surgical scrub or procedural prep, offering gentler action for repeated use.

🛡️ Clinical Advantages

Non-selective antimicrobial action: Targets a wide range of pathogens without promoting resistance.
Low cytotoxicity: Safe for intact and broken skin, mucous membranes, and surgical sites.
Film-forming property: Leaves a visible iodine layer, ensuring coverage and prolonged contact time.
Minimal systemic absorption: Especially important for large surface applications or repeated use.

🏥 Use Cases in Medical Practice

Surgical site preparation: Ensures aseptic conditions before incision.
Catheter insertion and dressing changes: Prevents nosocomial infections.
Wound cleansing: Reduces microbial load in acute and chronic wounds.
Obstetric and gynecological procedures: Safe for mucosal application.
ICU and OT protocols: Integral to infection control regimens.

⚠️ Precautions

Avoid use in patients with iodine sensitivity, thyroid disorders, or extensive burns without medical supervision.
Not recommended for prolonged use on large wounds due to potential iodine absorption.
Should not be mixed with other antiseptics or hydrogen peroxide without compatibility testing.
