What Are Potential Problems of Using Povidone-Iodine?
Discussion
Povidone-iodine (polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine or PVP-I) is one of the most common antiseptics for more than 150 years. It is used for antisepsis mainly topically but also in mucosal cavities (i.e. mouth, nose, throat, vagina, etc.) or surfaces (i.e. umbilical cord). It has been used to treat chronic mucosal infections such as adult chronic rhinosinusitis. It’s irritant properties are used for chemical pleurodesis.
