Pharmacological properties

4.1 ATCvet code:

QG52A

4.2 Pharmacodynamics

Iodine solutions react with the organic matter of bacteria and viruses to render them harmless. The mechanism of kill appears to be due to an oxidative-reductive reaction, involving various cell wall constituents, which are irreversibly transformed. The sulfhydryl linkages, in bacterial cell wall components, are specifically targeted by iodine.

The veterinary medicinal product is bactericidal (EN 1040 and EN 1656) against:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Staphylococcus aureus

Enterococcus hirae

Proteus vulgaris

4.3 Pharmacokinetics

Literature suggests that absorption of iodine through the skin is well below levels which would lead to pharmacokinetic activity in the body.
