In contact with skin and mucous membranes, iodine is released, which shows bactericidal, fungicidal, antiviral, antiparasitic and light immunomodulatory effects. It liquefies phlegm, thereby facilitating its excretion, has the ability to break down proteins.
Polyvidon promotes the rapid delivery of iodine into the cells, ensuring there its significant concentration after a short period of time after irrigation. Absorbed, iodine affects the metabolic processes in the body, promotes the production of the hormone T4.
Allantoin has an emollient, healing-restoring, inflammatory effect, catalyzing the properties of polyvidone-iodine.
