For the production of antiseptic full baths, water should first be left into the tub and then the required amount of solution to avoid discoloration of the tub by developing iodine -containing vapors.

Patient information

• Special care in the application is required:
  • After thyroid diseases or in the event of a goiter, you should only apply the solution over a longer period of time and large (e.g. over 10% of the body surface and longer than 14 days) only to express the doctor's express instruction. Even after the termination of the therapy (up to 3 months), early symptoms of a possible overactive thyroid must be observed and, if necessary, monitoring the thyroid function.
  • With simultaneous lithium therapy, a regular application of the solution must be avoided.
  • Due to the oxidizing effect of the active ingredient povidon iodine, various diagnostics can provide false-positive results (including Toluidin and Guajakharz for hemoglobin or glucose determination in stool or urine).
  • Povidon iodine can influence the iodine recording of the thyroid gland; This can lead to disorders of diagnostic examinations of the thyroid gland (thyroid scintigraphy, PBI determination, radioiod diagnostics) and make planned radioiod therapy impossible. Until the start of a new scintigram, a distance of at least 1 - 2 weeks after stopping the treatment should be observed.
• Children
  • In newborns and infants up to the age of 6 months, the solution is only to be applied to the express instruction of the doctor and extremely limited. In this case, control of the thyroid function is necessary. The random recording of the solution by the infant with the mouth must be avoided.
• Older people
  • In older people, the risk of an overactive thyroid triggered by iodine is increased. You should therefore only use the solution after consultation with your doctor. In older patients with a goiter or special assessment of thyroid dysfunction, a large -scale and long -term application of the solution should only be carried out on the express instruction of the doctor. If necessary, the thyroid function must be monitored.

 

• Wateriness and operating machines
  • There is no experience with regard to the impairment of traffic and the ability to use machines.

Pregnancy

• During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the solution is only to be applied to the express instruction of the doctor and extremely limited. In this case, a control of the thyroid function in the child is invitederlich. The random recording of the solution by the infant with the mouth on the breast of the breastfeeding mother must be avoided.
