 Povidone
Iodine Topical Solution USP
Product Description
Povidone iodine topical solution USP (PVP) is an aqueous
formulation of povidone-iodine, a compound formed by heating 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone
with elemental iodine. The povidone component serves the function
of iodide in aqueous iodine solutions and tinctures, which is to
increase the solubility and to provide a slow release form of iodine.
Advantages
As compared to iodine solutions and tinctures, PVP solutions
offer the following advantages:
• Prolonged Action-
By liberating elemental iodine more slowly, povidone iodine solution
has prolonged antimicrobial activity.
• Less Irritating- Since the
concentration of free iodine in PVP solutions is lower, povidone
iodine solutions are less irritating, particularly under occlusive
dressings.
• Nonstaining- PVP solutions
stain the skin and clothing less than iodine solutions and tinctures.
Indications
PVP Topical solutions retain the broad spectrum antimicrobial
and antiviral activity of iodine. It is used for the prevention
of infection in minor burns, abrasions and cuts and in the preparation
of the skin for injection and hyperalimentation procedures.
Product Stability
JAC's Povidone iodine USP swabs carry a five (5) year expiration
date, the maximum amount allowed by the Food and Drug Administration.
Directions For Use
Reverse cardboard sleeve on swab. Crush ONCE between the
