Disinfectant skin solution.
Indications
Marco Viti Iodine 7% + 5% Disinfection of intact skin for occasional treatments.
Composition
Active ingredients
100 ml contain Active ingredients: Iodine 7 g Potassium iodide 5 g.
Excipients
Ethanol, purified water.
Directions for use and dosage
Brush on the area to be treated.
Warnings
For external use only. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes. Prolonged application may cause irritation. This may cause irritation and causticity of the treated surface, therefore the medicine should not be used for prolonged treatments.
The medicine should be applied only to intact and unbroken skin, since in addition to causing irritation, it delays the healing of wounds and abrasions.
Use, especially if prolonged, may give rise to sensitization phenomena.
In this case, discontinue treatment and adopt appropriate therapeutic measures. To avoid excessive absorption of iodine, do not cover the treated skin area with occlusive dressings.
In case of use for prolonged periods on large body surfaces, on mucous membranes or under occlusive dressings, particularly in children and patients with thyroid disorders, thyroid function tests are necessary.
Since iodine can alter thyroid function, it is recommended to use with caution in subjects with thyroid diseases, in patients over 45 years of age, or with goiter.
In pediatric age, use only if strictly necessary and under medical supervision. Discontinue treatment at least 10 days before undergoing a scintigraphy with labeled iodine.
Treatment may alter the results of thyroid function tests, especially in premature infants.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or to any of the excipients. Generally contraindicated in pregnancy.
Do not use in children under 6 months of age.
Interactions
If it comes into contact with acetone, elemental iodine forms a pungent irritant compound.
When evaluating interactions with other drugs, the possible systemic effects of iodine should be taken into account, although when administered locally as recommended, it is absorbed only in small amounts.
The effects of iodine and iodides on the thyroid may be altered by other compounds, including amiodarone and lithium.
Undesirable effects
The following are the undesirable effects of iodine, organized according to the MedDRA system organ classification.
There are insufficient data to establish the frequency of the individual effects listed. Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Burning or irritation, acneiform eruptions, iododerma, delayed healing of damaged tissue.
Inhalation of iodine vapors is highly irritating to mucous membranes. Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria, angioedema, skin hemorrhages or purpura, fever, arthralgia, lymphadenopathy, and eosinophilia.
Iodine, when administered locally as recommended, is absorbed only in small amounts with minimal systemic effects.
Adverse reactions due to systemic effects of the drug, which may occur in cases of abnormal absorption (abundant, prolonged use, or occlusion of the treated skin area), are listed below.
Endocrine disorders: Effects on the thyroid can cause goiter and hypothyroidism, as well as hyperthyroidism (Basedow's disease). Goiter and hypothyroidism can also occur in newborns exposed to iodides during pregnancy.
Iodine may interfere with thyroid function tests. Psychiatric disorders: Depression, insomnia. Nervous system disorders: Headache. Gastrointestinal disorders: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Reproductive system and breast disorders: Impotence. Injury, poisoning, and procedural complications.
Prolonged use may cause a series of adverse effects collectively referred to as "iodism," some of which may be due to hypersensitivity.
These adverse effects include a metallic taste, increased salivation, burning and sore mouth; acute rhinitis, coryza-like syndrome, swelling and inflammation of the throat, irritation and swelling of the eyes, and increased tearing may also occur. Pulmonary edema, dyspnea, and bronchitis may develop.
Overdose
Abundant application of the medicine to very large areas of skin, the use of bandages, or prolonged use may result in increased iodine absorption.
In these circumstances, the occurrence of adverse effects will be more frequent.
Accidental ingestion or inhalation can have serious, sometimes fatal, consequences. If the recommended dose is exceeded, either intentionally or accidentally, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may occur.
A metallic taste, increased salivation, inflammation of the salivary glands, burning or pain in the mouth and throat, irritation or swelling of the eyes, skin rashes, gastrointestinal disturbances with vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia, and impaired renal function may also occur.
Circulatory failure and swelling of the epiglottis may also occur, causing asphyxia, pneumonia, and pulmonary edema, which can be fatal. Retinal toxicity has also been observed with overdose.
Symptomatic and supportive treatment is necessary, with special attention to electrolyte balance and impaired renal function.
Symptomatic treatment of allergic reactions may be necessary, although symptoms usually resolve rapidly once administration is discontinued.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Iodine is poorly absorbed when used as directed.
Iodine that reaches the systemic circulation crosses the placenta, and excess iodine is harmful to the fetus: iodine use during pregnancy has been associated with goiter, hypothyroidism, respiratory problems, enlarged heart, tracheal compression, and neonatal death.
Iodine is excreted in breast milk.
The use of excessive doses of iodine in mothers during breastfeeding can increase the iodine level in breast milk and cause transient hypothyroidism in infants.
The use of iodine, even when applied topically, is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Storage
Keep the container tightly closed in the original packaging, protected from light.
