4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For topical administration.
Apply directly as required.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to iodine, polyvinylpyrrolidone or to any excipient.
History of abnormal thyroid function or goitre (in
particular nodular colloid goitre, endemic goitre and Hashimoto's
thyroiditis). Use in children under two years of age.
Regular use should be avoided in patients on concurrent lithium
therapy.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Use of this preparation may interfere with tests of thyroid function.
Iodine is absorbed through burns and broken skin
and to a lesser extent through intact skin and may lead to toxic
levels of iodine in the blood, particularly in patients with
renal insufficiency.
If symptoms occur suggesting changes in thyroid function, these should
be investigated.
In patients with impaired
renal function, blood levels of iodine should be monitored.
This preparation contains alcohol and is flammable.
When used prior to a procedure which involves the use of an
electrosurgical unit, do not allow pooling of the fluid to occur, and
ensure that the skin and surrounding drapes are dry
to reduce the risk of fires and burns.
If local irritation and hypersensitivity develop, then discontinue
treatment. Refer to section 4.8 for further information.
Betadine Alcoholic Solution can permanently discolour white gold
jewellery and it is recommended that this type of
jewellery should be removed before using Betadine Alcoholic Solution
