Overview of Povidone Iodine
Povidone Iodine (also known as PVP-I) is a broad-spectrum, topical antiseptic and disinfectant that is used in the formulation of pharmaceutical products for wound treatment as well as surgical preparation as well as for the prevention of infections. It slowly releases iodine free in order to exert effective antimicrobial effects against viruses, bacteria, as well as protozoa, fungi, and spores that have low toxicity. The API is a reddish-brown to a brownish-brownish white powder (Povidone Iodine powder) and is extremely stable in typical conditions of storage. The products that are related to it include Sulphamethoxazole, Tolvaptan, and Tadalafil, frequently used in renal, antibacterial, and Urological formulations.
