Application during pregnancy and lactation
Due to the lack of sufficient experience in the use of Oftolik in pregnant and lactating women, its appointment in these groups of patients is possible only in the case when the expected benefit to the woman outweighs the possible risks to the fetus or child.
Drug interactions
PVA is susceptible to esterification reactions typical of compounds with secondary hydroxy groups. When exposed to strong acids, it breaks down, softens or dissolves in weak acids and alkalis. In high concentrations, the synthetic polymer is incompatible with inorganic salts (especially phosphoric and sulfuric acid salts). Upon reaction with phosphates, a 5% PVA precipitate may form. In the presence of boric acid sodium salt (borax), a gel can form from the PVA solution.
Povidone interacts in solution with sodium salicylate, sulfathiazole, salicylic acid, phenobarbital, tannin and other substances. Some preservatives (for example, thiomersal) form complexes with povidone, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
