Betadine solution is often used for treatment of oropharyngeal cavity, however should be considered as diluted Betadine gargle, to achieve a therapeutic effect and do not cause injury mucous. For this it is necessary to learn the basic characteristics of the solution, the need to use rules and dilution to the desired concentration.
Particularly a liquid preparation
Pharmacological industry produces a saturated aqueous solution of Betadine brown and no precipitate solids, 100 ml of which contains:
- 10 mg Povidone-iodine;
- distilled water;
- sodium hydroxide;
- glycerol;
- lemon acid;
- disodium hydrogen phosphate anhydrate.
Active current component is povidone-iodine, water is needed as a liquid base, and glycerol reduces the irritant effect of iodine on the skin and mucous membranes. The remaining components are necessary for long-term preservation of iodine activity.
Instructions for use indicates that undiluted Betadine solution can be treated nails and skin, but used for wounds or mucous undiluted agent is contraindicated.
That treat rinsing
Diluted betadine to rinse the throat and mouth is recommended for:
- sore throat;
- inflammation of the gums and tongue;
- stomatitis;
- sore throat;
- laryngitis.
Betadine solution is effective against the following types of pathogens:
- bacteria;
- mushrooms;
- viruses.
The drug is ineffective only when infected with tubercle bacillus (TB).
Betadine gargle advantage is as follows:
- Fast therapeutic effect. The preparation starts from the first minutes of contact with the mucous membrane;
- Lack of habituation. In microflora does not appear to reduce the sensitivity to iodine with prolonged use;
- A small number of contraindications. Betadine solution in compliance with the rules of use of almost no side reactions and does not harm the body.
The aqueous rinse solution must be prepared before use. Long term storage of the prepared mixture decreases the activity of iodine and reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
breeding rules
Breeding for Betadine gargle recommended as follows:
- take beaker (200 ml) with warm water;
- Add 20 ml of water a concentrated solution of Betadine (for convenience, we can use a conventional medical syringe);
- stir well the resulting liquid (light brownish yellow liquid should get).
As a basis for breeding may be used as a boiled or tap water. Not only permitted mixing with Betadine boiling water and heating the already prepared solution to a boil: the high temperatures destroy iodine.
Tips for use
Terms of use of the drug should tell a doctor, but there are a few general recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the treatment:
- Before diluted betadine rinse the throat and mouth is recommended to clean the oral cavity from food residues and excess saliva. Pre-treatment provides a more pronounced effect of iodine on microorganisms;
- Rinse 2-3 times per day. Too frequent treatments can cause an overdose or the development of unwanted side effects. Rare rinse solution leads to the fact that the treatment will last longer;
- After treatment of the oral cavity and throat with betadine solution is recommended to refrain from consuming food and liquids for 30-40 minutes. During this time, the iodine component is absorbed into the mucus and will "work" for the destruction of pathogenic flora.
Diluted Betadine does not irritate and is approved for use in children. Rinse in children it is important to make sure that the child spitting solution and not swallowed.
Compliance with the rules of preparation Betadine solution will quickly get rid of the inflammation in the oropharynx and avoid burns mucosa. The same scheme rinse solution analogs recommended Betadine: yodinolom, Akvazana et al.
