Betaisodona® solution burns on the wound – Is this normal?
A slight burning sensation often occurred when Betaisodona® solution was applied to a wound. As long as this is bearable and subsides after a few seconds to a few minutes, this is normal. The iodine released from the Betaisodona® Solution not only kills the germs but also slightly irritates the skin and the open wound, causing the unpleasant burning sensation.
This is, however, much less pronounced than with the iodine tinctures that used to be common in the medicine cabinet, as these contain iodine without a protective chemical compound as in the Betaisodona® Solution. However, if the application of the solution causes severe burning pain that does not subside at all, a doctor must be consulted. In extremely rare cases, an intolerance reaction of Betaisodona® Solution is responsible for the symptoms.
Further dosage forms of Betaisodona® are
In addition to the solution, Betaisodona is also available in the form of an oral antiseptic, for example. This is used, for example, once before a surgical procedure in the oral cavity. Oral mucosa inflammation, for example as a result of radiotherapy, can also be treated with Betaisodona® oral antiseptic.
Another form is the Betaisodona® Ointment. Similar to Betaisodona® Solution, this is used for damaged skin such as pressure sores (decubitus), lower leg ulcers or burns. It can also be used to apply an ointment dressing, for example.
However, another special form of Betaisodona is also suitable for such a purpose, namely wound gauze. It is a type of cellulose soaked with the active substance which is applied directly to the injured or diseased skin area and is then fixed with a bandage. Another form of Betaisodona that can be bought is a liquid soap. This is used by surgeons to wash their hands before an operation, for example.
Is Betaisodona® solution only available on prescription?
Betaisodona® solution is not subject to prescription. It can be ordered in all sizes without a prescription, either at your local pharmacy or on the Internet. Although Betaisodona® Solution is not a prescription-only product, a doctor should always be consulted in the case of large or poorly healing wounds, as in such cases treatment with this product alone is not sufficient.
