Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Iodinol is an iodine-containing antiseptic. The main active ingredient is molecular iodine, which has an antiseptic effect; low toxicity.
Iodine, when applied to large areas of the skin, exhibits the following resorptive effect: it enhances the processes of dissimilation, actively affects the metabolism, takes part in the synthesis of thyroxine, and has proteolytic properties.
Polyvinyl alcohol is a high molecular weight compound. Due to its content in the composition of the drug, the release of iodine slows down, its interaction with the tissues of the body is lengthened, and the irritating effect of iodine on the tissues is reduced.
Iodine as a bactericidal agent acts on gram-positive and gram-negative flora (it is most active against streptococcal flora and Escherichia coli), as well as on yeast and pathogenic fungi. Staphylococcus aureus is a more stable flora, however, during a long course, staphylococcal flora is suppressed in 80% of cases. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to the action of the drug.
