Iodophors are labile complexes of elemental iodine with macromolecular carriers that both increase the solubility and provide sustained release of iodine. Povidone-iodine is a water-soluble iodophor that is used as an antiseptic and is said to be free of the undesirable effects of iodine tincture. However, iodine can be absorbed from it through burned areas (17), vaginal mucosa (18), oral mucosa (19), and in children even with normal skin (20). Povidone-iodine is discussed in a separate monograph under the title Polyvidone.

Donning your safety glasses, make up two solutions of just less than a quarter of a teaspoon of cornstarch (1 milliliter) in one cup (240 milliliters) of water. Crush a tablet of a digestive aid that is meant to be taken before meals to reduce intestinal gas. These pills should contain the enzyme alpha-galactosidase, which will digest starch. Check the label to make sure. Add the crushed tablet to one of the cups of cornstarch solution. Let the glasses sit for about an hour and then add a drop of iodine tincture iodine to each. Iodine is a well-known indicator for starch because iodine forms a lovely blue-colored complex with starch. The solution without the enzyme will turn a violet-blue color, indicating the presence of starch. The solution to which the enzyme was added should remain the brown color of the iodine tincture. If there is a blue color, it will be much weaker. This demonstrates that the starch has been broken down. 

Although great advances have been made in the techniques and mechanics of ampul production, Limousin s simple rules capture the basic underlying principles. In the United States, ampuls, or hermetically sealed containers which are filled with a medicinal liquid in a sterile condition, intended for parenteral use, became official in the National Formulary V (1926) that same year, the United States Pharmacopeia X included a chapter on sterilization but no monograph for individual ampuls. Iodine Ampuls, N.F., containing Iodine Tincture, United States Pharmacopeia, in sealed containers, intended to be broken and the liquid applied topically for the emergency disinfection of cuts or wounds, remained official through the National Formulary XIII (1970). The French term... 

Swabs Ampuls containing Iodine Tincture, United States Pharmacopeia, covered with gauze or other absorbent material, and used for first-aid treatment. Iodine Swabs, later called Iodine Ampuls, were official in the National Formulary through its 13th edition (1970). When iodine tincture is required for first aid, the tip of the ampul is broken and the gauze absorbs the iodine and provides a means of applying it directly to the wound. Some Iodine Ampuls are in the form of fine capillary tubes, which are broken when needed and the tincture applied directly.

There are a number of nonspecific topical drugs, some some of which have been in use for most of this century. Early therapy of superficial mycoses utilized topical fungicides such as salicylic acid, salicylanilide, iodine tincture, and even weak fungistatic compounds such as benzoic acid. Salicylic acid is mainly a keratolytic agent that also removes the softened, loosened infected epithelial layers. In combination with benzoic acid (Whitfield s ointment), it has been a useful product for years.

In 1881, Bernard Courtois (1777-1838) introduced another halogen, iodine, extracting the element from wracks at the seashore. William Wallace proposed iodine tincture in 1835 to disinfect wounds. It was superseded by iodoform, which was less of an irritant, invented by Georges Simon Serullas (1774-1832). Structurally, it was very comparable to chloroform, the chlorine atom being substituted by an iodine one. Aqueous iodine solutions were proposed by Casimir Davaine (Lugol s solution) as antiseptics. 

B. Halogens Iodine tincture is an effective antiseptic for intact skin and, although it can cause dermatitis, is commonly used in preparing the skin before taking blood samples. Iodine com-plexed with povidone (povidone-iodine) is widely used, particularly as a preoperative skin antiseptic, but solutions can become contaminated with aerobic gram-negative bacteria. 

This chapter presents neutralization procedures for six topical antimicrobial compounds [9] chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), iodine (tinctures and povidone-iodine), alcohols (ethyl and isopropyl), triclosan, parachlorometaxylenol (PCMX), and quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC). 

Iodine in its pure form is relatively insoluble in water without a solubilizing agent, but it dissolves well in various alcohols to provide an iodine tincture. Tinctures of iodine are used primarily as antiseptics. 

B. Skin and mucous membranes. Strong iodine tincture (7% iodine and 5% potassium iodide in 83% ethanol) may cause bums, but USP iodine tincture (2% iodine and 2% sodium iodide in 50% ethanol) is not likely to produce corrosive damage. Systemic absorption of iodine may occur after an acute application of strong iodine tincture or after chronic applications of less concentrated products. 

C. Ingestion. Reported fatal doses vary from 200 mg to more than 20 g of iodine an estimated mean lethal dose is approximately 2-4 g of free iodine. USP iodine tincture contains 100 mg iodine per 5 mL, and strong iodine tincture contains 350 mg of iodine per 5 mL. Iodine ointment contains 4% iodine. Consider ethanol toxicity with large exposures (see p 190).
