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.
If local irritation and hypersensitivity develop, then discontinue
treatment. Refer to section 4.8, “Undesirable effects”
for further information.
