Pyodine Solution 50ML is a brand of povidone-iodine solution, a broad-spectrum antiseptic. It is used to treat and prevent infections in minor wounds, cuts, burns, and abrasions.

Key Information

Active Ingredient: Povidone-iodine (PVP-I), which slowly releases iodine to kill or inhibit the growth of various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

Concentration: Povidone-iodine solutions are commonly available in a 10% concentration for topical application. The "Pyodine Solution 50ML" likely refers to a 10% solution in a 50ml bottle.

Uses:

Treating and preventing infections in minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations, and burns.

Pre-operative prepping of the skin before surgery.

Post-operative application to incision sites.

How to Use:

Clean the affected area thoroughly.

Apply a small amount of the solution directly to the area.

Allow it to dry.

A sterile bandage may be applied if needed.

Use as directed by a healthcare professional, typically 1 to 3 times a day.

Do not use for prolonged periods (more than one week) without medical advice.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include skin irritation, redness, dryness, or a burning sensation at the application site. These usually resolve on their own.

In rare cases, allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling) can occur. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if these symptoms appear.

Caution: Povidone-iodine can stain the skin and fabric. Stains on skin can be removed with rubbing alcohol, and stains on fabric can often be removed with diluted ammonia.

Precautions:

For external use only. Do not swallow.

Avoid contact with the eyes and nose.

Use with caution in people with thyroid disorders, as prolonged use on large areas of skin can lead to iodine absorption and interfere with thyroid function.

Do not use on large or deep wounds, severe burns, or broken skin without consulting a doctor.

Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Always read the label and follow the instructions provided with the product. If you have any concerns or questions, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
