It is also important to use an antiseptic as per the recommendations of a doctor.

Question almost 6 years ago

How does Povine work?

Dr. Saikat Mukherjee MBBS , General Physician

Povine is also known as an iodophor, meaning that povidone is a carrier of iodine. Iodine kills the microbes as it acts as the active molecule. Once released from the complex, the free iodine penetrates into the cell walls of the microorganisms and inhibits the synthesis and structures of proteins and nucleic acids. Even though the complete mechanism is not understood, it is hypothesized that iodine disrupts the vital bacterial structures and mechanisms, denaturing and deactivating the bacteria. In-vitro studies have also suggested that iodine decreases the inflammation caused by the pathogens and host cells.

Question almost 6 years ago

Is Povine suitable for a fungal infection?

Dr. Kapil Sharma MBBS , General Physician

Fungal infections can be managed by using a topical treatment and adhering to it, by washing the skin with slightly warm water and an antifungal soap or a wash, by keeping the skin dry, by daily washing the towel, bedsheet and the clothes, by not wearing tight clothes, etc.
