Povidone Solution/liquid

Read the label and any accompanying instructions. Depending on your circumstances, your doctor may have proscribed a large or small amount of povidone for treatment. This information will be included on the label and in the instructions, along with negative interactions, frequency of use, and special notes.
· Depending on the kind of povidone proscribed, the procedure for applying it may vary slightly. Povidone commonly comes in aerosol sprays, liquid solutions, creams, and saturated pads/swabs.

Clean the affected area with a mild soap. If the area where you'll be applying the povidone is difficult to rinse in a sink, sponge bathe the area. All visible dirt should be removed from the area before applying the povidone. Dry the area with a clean towel afterwards.

Apply a small amount of povidone to clean the affected area. In most situations, a small amount of povidone will be more than enough to cover the area. Depending on the size of the affected area and the instructions you're given, pour the solution, or use a dropper or cotton ball or swab.
· According to your preference, you can leave the area uncovered or cover it with a sterile bandage.
· Povidone solutions have a tendency to stain the skin a yellow-orange color. Even if a bandage isn't necessary, it can be useful for hiding povidone stains.
· You can use a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol to remove iodine stains from your skin.

Keep an eye out for allergic reactions. The most common side effect of using povidone is minor skin irritation. If this irritation persists for an extended period of time or worsens in severity, speak with your doctor. If you have any severe allergic reactions, like rashes, hives, itching, or swelling, see a doctor immediately.
· Povidone allergies are somewhat rare, but not unheard of. Take a moment to look at the allergy symptoms listed on label or in the instructions.
· Povidone should be stored at room temperature, away from light, heat, and moisture.

Povidone-iodine is called iodophore which means povidone acts as a carrier of iodine. Iodine is considered as the active moiety that mediates microbicidal actions. When released from the complex, free iodine (I2) penetrates the cell wall of microorganisms quickly, and the lethal effects are believed to result from disruption of protein and nucleic acid structure and synthesis. While the full mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, iodine is thought to inhibit vital bacterial cellular mechanisms and structures, and oxidizes nucleotides fatty or amino acids in bacterial cell membranes 1.

Additionally, free iodine disrupts the function of the cytosolic enzymes involved in the respiratory chain, causing them to become denatured and deactivated 1. In vitro evidence suggests that iodine also counteracts inflammation elicited by both pathogens and the host response via multifactorial effects. In hosts, povidone-iodine was demonstrated to modulate the redox potential, inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α and β-galactosidase, inhibit metalloproteinase production, and potentiate the healing signals from pro-inflammatory cytokines by activation of monocytes, T-lymphocytes, and macrophages.

Do not use povidone iodine topical in the mouth if you are using a form that is made for use only on the skin.
To use povidone iodine topical spray in the mouth, spray directly into the mouth or throat. Leave the medicine in place for 15 seconds, then spit it out. Avoid swallowing the spray. Use once every 2 hours as needed.
To use povidone iodine topical as a mouth rinse, gargle or swish the liquid for 30 seconds, then spit it out. Do not swallow the liquid. Use up to 4 times per day.

Povidone iodine topical spray is flammable. Do not use near high heat or open flame. Do not smoke until the gel has completely dried on your skin. 

The company has the GMP production lines of 600 tons annually of Povidone at low molecular weight ( Povidone K12, K15, K17, K25 and K30), 800 tons annually of Povidone at high molecular weight ( Povidone K60, K90, K120), 300 tons annually of Povidone Iodinated with high stability and 100tons annually of Chondroitine Sulfated Sodium. The company also first finished the industrial cultivation of artificial cultivating of Cordyceps and the concerned products are under marketing now. HSP will take pharmaceutical biological products or biological extracts with advantage of techniques or resources as the new development direction
