Iodinol, 50 ml

Iodinol is an iodine-containing antiseptic agent. The main active ingredient is molecular iodine, which has antiseptic properties.

Iodine has a resorptive effect when applied to extensive skin surfaces: it actively affects metabolism, enhances dissimilation processes, participates in the synthesis of thyroxine, has proteolytic action.

Polyvinyl alcohol – a high molecular weight compound, whose content in iodinol delays iodine release and prolongs its interaction with body tissues; it also reduces iodine irritating effect on tissues.< br>
Iodine has a bactericidal effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative flora (most active on Streptococcus flora and E. coli) as well as on pathogenic fungi and yeast.

The more resistant flora are staphylococcus aureus, but with long-term use of the drug in 80% of cases the suppression of staphylococcal flora is noted. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant. The drug is little toxic.
