Povikem Gargle (100Ml) (100Ml) Povidone Iodine By Alkem

What is it used for?
Povidone iodine is an antiseptic used to clean and disinfect the skin, including minor cuts, grazes and wounds, and to help prevent infection. Some formulations are used for skin preparation before medical procedures.

How does it work?
It slowly releases iodine, which kills or inactivates many types of germs, including bacteria, viruses and fungi.

How to take/use it
Use only the formulation intended for the affected area and follow the product label or healthcare professional’s instructions. Clean the area as directed and apply externally. Do not swallow it or use skin preparations in the eyes, mouth or other body areas unless the product is specifically made for that purpose.

Common side effects
Temporary skin irritation, redness, dryness or staining may occur. Rarely, an allergic reaction can occur.

Precautions
Avoid use if allergic to povidone iodine or any ingredient. Keep it away from the eyes and do not apply repeatedly over large areas, deep wounds or severe burns unless advised by a healthcare professional. Seek medical advice for worsening redness, swelling, pain, pus or fever. People with thyroid problems, those taking lithium, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and infants should seek advice before repeated or extensive use.
