Contraindications – When should Betaisodona not be given?

  • Some patients suffer from hypersensitivity to iodine. In this case, Betaisodona should not be taken, otherwise an allergic reaction may occur.
  • Betaisodona is also contraindicated in patients with hyperthyroidism. This also applies to other existing thyroid diseases. In this case, consultation with the family doctor should be made.
  • In the case of radioiodine therapy (radiotherapy with iodine), Betaisodona should also not be used during the entire period of irradiation, but only after the end of treatment.
  • Another contraindication is the very rare chronic skin inflammation Dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring.

Dosage

Betaisodona is suitable for the treatment of inflammatory wounds and can be applied as long as there are still signs of inflammation. However, if there is no improvement in symptoms after 2-5 days, you should consult a doctor. Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, the medication is applied to the affected area in a thin layer once or twice a day. The typical brownish discoloration indicates the effectiveness. If the discoloration recedes or an area is not stained at all, some Betaisodona should be added to ensure effectiveness.

How do I use Betaisodona correctly?

Depending on the form in which Betaisodona is used, different things should be considered. Under no circumstances should the solution be swallowed. If the solution is used to disinfect the skin, certain exposure times should be observed.

If Betaisodona is diluted for baths or washings, the mixing ratio should be strictly adhered to and, if necessary, discussed with the doctor.

  • When applying the ointment or wound gel, the medication should be applied thinly and a glove should be worn if necessary to avoid discoloration of the hands. The affected area should be completely covered.
  • When using a Betaisodona solution, it can be applied undiluted or diluted with water. Again, the area should be completely covered without being “drowned”.
  • In areas of skin poor in sebaceous glands, the exposure time varies between 1 and 3 minutes (1 minute before an injection, 3 minutes before an operation), depending on the subsequent procedure.
  • For skin rich in sebaceous glands, the application time is at least 10 minutes.
