Product Details
Defodin Antiseptic Solution is a topical preparation containing povidone-iodine 100 mg/ml. Povidone-iodine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that acts against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and other simple organisms. The solution is used for the prevention and treatment of skin infections and may be applied to minor cuts, grazes, abrasions and wounds. It is intended for topical application to the skin only and must not be used internally. For adults, elderly patients and children over 2 years of age, the solution may be applied directly to the affected skin once or twice daily as directed. After application, allow the area to dry. A dressing may be applied if required. Care is required when povidone-iodine is used over extensively broken or burned skin because increased iodine absorption may occur. Patients with thyroid disorders, kidney problems or those receiving lithium treatment require particular caution. Defodin Antiseptic Solution is supplied in a 200 ml pack and should be stored below 25°C away from ignition sources.
