DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

and dried
before application. The affected area may then be covered with a
dressing or
bandage if required.

CONTRAINDICATION
It is contraindicated in known or suspected iodine hypersensitivity.
Regular use
is contraindicated in patients or users with thyroid disorders (in
particular
nodular colloid goitre, endemic goitre and Hashimotos thyroiditis).
Not for use in
infants under 2 years. Special caution is needed when regular
applications to
broken skin are made to patients with pre-existing renal
insufficiency. Regular
use should be avoided in patients on concurrent lithium therapy.
WARNING AND PRECAUTION
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.
If local irritation and hypersensitivity develop, then discontinue
treatment.
