Frequently asked Questions about Pividine 5% Ointment

Question almost 6 years ago

Can Pividine be used to treat vaginitis in pregnant woman?

Dr. Bharat MBBS , General Physician

No, Pividine should not be used for the treatment of vaginitis in pregnant women. This is because exposure to iodine-containing solution could lead to the development of hypothyroidism and goiter in the infant. Vaginitis is the swelling of the vulva or vagina. It may develop from the use of soap, perfumes, not washing well, menopause, wearing tight undergarments, etc. It can stem from a bacterial, yeast, fungal or a protozoan infection. It can be effectively managed by washing the infected area with only water, keeping it dry, taking a warm bath, wearing comfortable undergarments, keeping the blood sugar levels under control and using pads and not tampons. It is also important to use an antiseptic as per the recommendations of a doctor.

Question about 6 years ago

How does Pividine work?

Dr. Saikat Mukherjee MBBS , General Physician

Pividine is also known as an iodophor, meaning that povidone is a carrier of iodine. Iodine kills the microbes as it acts as the active molecule. Once released from the complex, the free iodine penetrates into the cell walls of the microorganisms and inhibits the synthesis and structures of proteins and nucleic acids. Even though the complete mechanism is not understood, it is hypothesized that iodine disrupts the vital bacterial structures and mechanisms, denaturing and deactivating the bacteria. In-vitro studies have also suggested that iodine decreases the inflammation caused by the pathogens and host cells.

Question almost 6 years ago

Can Pividine cause acute kidney injury?

Dr. Ramraj MBBS , Other

Yes, there have been reports of Pividine causing acute kidney injury. Pividine is widely used as an antiseptic and as a preoperative and postoperative surgical scrub. Its main moiety is iodine which is effective against yeast, fungi, bacteria, and protozoans. However, it is also known to cause toxicity, resulting in acute kidney injury in a person who ingested it, in people in whom it has been used topically, etc.
