How does Betaisodona influence wound healing?
When using Betaisodona, iodine is released. This iodine kills pathogens and thus supports the healing of wounds.The main component of Betaisodona is the active ingredient povidone-iodine, which quickly reaches its site of action and reacts with the surface, causing the pathogen to die. The disinfecting effect results from the fact that oxygen radicals are formed when iodine comes into contact with moist skin. These oxygen radicals are very aggressive and can then kill the pathogens.
What is the shelf life of Betaisodona and may I still use it if it has already expired?
- Betaisodona as ointment has a shelf life of 3 years and should not be used after the expiration date. If the drug is exposed to temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius the efficacy can also no longer be guaranteed.
- The same information applies to Betaisodona solution.
- If it is Betaisodona in the form of an oral antiseptic, it may be used for a maximum of 1 year after opening the bottle. Again, the medication may only be stored protected from heat.
