Q&A about Povidone Iodine
Is it safe to use sulfa block, add povidone iodine or chlorohexadine to water of baby soft shell for fungus?
While I'm finding much info about turtles shedding shells, nothing specific re: my baby spiny soft shell. Not sure how to determine if he's shedding or developing fungus on shell. Have provided dry basking area; he chooses not to use it, submerges body in the sand most of the time, swims occasionally. Eating well commercial pellets. No longer very shy. Just want to keep him healthy. Using water from local underground natural spring (brought up to his tank's temperature, changing about 1/3 of water every 3-4 days) "Power pusher" aerator going constantly, except at feeding time, not filtering due to sand. Just concerned about fungus, if that's what it is, don't want to let it get away from me, but also don't want to put him at risk using "adult" remedies. Any input helpful. Thanks, nan

I have heard of using betadine (povdine) directly on the lesions, but never in the water. Typically, they usually recommend "dry docking" the turtle for a few week, meaning in water (clean) only to eat, then in dry area the remainder of the day. You may need to add a topical antifungal and/or systemic medications. Do you have a good reptile vet in your area? If your in Michigan I can recommend a few.
Will povidone iodine douches get rid of yeast?
Diflucan makes me real sick - and I can't stand the mess of the creams.....
and I get them practically everytime I have sex.....
Any suggestions?

No, for the love of GOD and all things holy, do NOT do that!!! You think you have a problem now with a yeast infection, wait and see what happens if you douche with that.... echhh. First of all, douching in general is bad. You have bacteria in your vagina. It's ok and it's NORMAL. It's a good thing! When you have an overgrowth of the yeast (due to various different reasons) it's called a yeast infection. But you're supposed to have a normal amount of bacteria there and douching messes up that balance and predisposes you to infections. Douching = Bad. At least it's only one dose of the antibiotic, it would be worse if you had to take it for a week or something. After being diagnosed by your Gyn (self diagnosing is generally not the best idea) you could consider an insert or the suppositories used at night. Not exactly a cream so it might be more comfortable for you. Whatever you decide please do not douche with povidone iodine.
Using povidone iodine on a finger cut?
Guys, I injured my finger tonight while to a repair to my house. Basically a aluminum sheet cut my left thumb (right above the knuckle). Its a rather deep cut and the sheet fell about 2 feet directly onto my finger.
I took a shower and clean the cut with soap and water to the best of my ability (to the point that i was about to scream like a 5 year old). My father used povidone iodine (10%)and neosporin on my finger.
no serious pain unless i spread open the cut, i have full mobility with it.
1) no rust on the aluminum, do i need a shot of some sort?
2) is povidone-iodine okay for this?
3) any other tips?
thanks in advance guys.

aluminum doesnt rust, you should have a tetnus shot once every ten years, wrap the cut so it doesnt spread open, and the neosporin is good, you should be ok.

Betadine (povidone-Iodine) for acne?
My friend is asking me about povidone-iodine as a topical antiseptic for acne. what do you think?
Iodine can aggravate acne...right?
Why her doctor recommends this product? I'm confused.. Iodine is bad for acne prone skin... But in betadine Indication it says that it is for acne.
Help!

raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."
you can get it at the health food store, or in some super market health food sections.
good luck

is there a study comparing the efficacy of 2 propanol benzalkonium chloride with povidone iodine as antiseptic
Well, there is a study by the British Journal of Medicine into the effciacy of spray disinfection using a 2 Propanol and Benzalkonium Chloride containing solution before epidural catherter insertion (1st link).
There is also a study as a PDF file that compares many different antiseptic agents and I think at least one of the ones you're interested in may be in there. If not, it may be of some use anyway (2nd). I hope the links work!
Hope this helps a little. =)

how do i pull iodine crystals from povidone iodine??
I don't know. Povidone iodine, or Betadine, is an organic iodine compound, that is, there is a carbon moiety attached to the iodine. If you want tincture of iodine, I would just go buy it. Or if you want KI, potassium iodide, I would just buy it.
I think I may be allergic to an inert ingredient found in many drugs.It is Povidone,anyone else have the same?
It is not the povidone-iodine mix. Just the povidone or crospovidone. Would like to find out if there is anyone else with this same problem.

This is not a common allergy but it is possible. However, there are many commonly used inactive ingredients in drugs that may also be causing the allergic reaction -- dyes, preservatives, corn, etc.
