Posology and method of administration

Posology

Betaiodine solution can be used undiluted or diluted with water as a 10% (1:10) or 1% (1:100) solution, depending on the area to be disinfected.

The diluted solution should be prepared immediately before use.

The drug should be left on the skin for 1-2 minutes before injection, blood sampling, biopsy, blood transfusion, infusion therapy or before any other surgical intervention on intact skin.

For aseptic treatment of wounds, burns, for disinfection of mucous membranes, for bacterial and fungal infections of the skin, you can use a 10% solution (dissolving Betaiodine with water in a ratio of 1:10).

For preoperative “disinfectant baths” a 1% solution of Betaiodine (1:100) is used. The entire surface of the body should be evenly treated with a 1% solution and, after a 2-minute exposure, wash off the solution with warm water.

During preoperative disinfection of the skin, it is necessary to ensure that excess solution does not accumulate under the patient. Prolonged contact with the solution may cause skin irritation and, in rare cases, severe skin reactions. The accumulations of the solution under the patient can cause a chemical burn (see section Special warnings and precautions for use).

 

Children and adolescents

The use of Betaiodine solution is not recommended for children under 2 years of age. The drug is contraindicated in newborns and children under 1 year of age (see section Contraindications).

 

Method of administration

Betaiodine solution is intended only for external use on the skin and mucous membranes in undiluted or diluted form.
