Patient information

Particular caution is required when using it, as povidone-iodine must not be used simultaneously or shortly afterwards with mercury derivatives in order to avoid chemical burns caused by mercury iodide.Because of the oxidizing effect of povidone-iodine, various diagnostic tests can lead to incorrect results.When given povidone-iodine, iodine uptake by the thyroid gland may be reduced, which can lead to interference with certain thyroid tests.A waiting period of at least 1 - 2 weeks after discontinuation of povidone-iodine treatment should be observed before a new scintigram is taken.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the ointment should only be used on the express instructions of the doctor and in an extremely limited manner.In this case, a check of the child's thyroid function is necessary.Ingestion of the ointment by the infant through the mouth through contact with the treated part of the breastfeeding mother's body must be avoided.
