Scientific Evidence

Povidone-iodine, the active ingredient in Povidin vaginal suppositories, has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Research published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research demonstrated the efficacy of povidone-iodine in treating bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis, and trichomoniasis.

Additional Information

Povidin vaginal suppositories provide a targeted approach to treating vaginal infections, delivering the active ingredient directly to the site of infection. This localized treatment minimizes systemic exposure and reduces the risk of side effects compared to oral medications. Consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations tailored to individual needs.

Pharmacological Effects: Povidone-iodine exerts its antimicrobial action by releasing free iodine, which disrupts the cell membrane of microorganisms, leading to their death. This mechanism of action helps eliminate the causative agents of vaginal infections effectively.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of povidone-iodine in the treatment of various vaginal infections. A randomized controlled trial published in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics showed that povidone-iodine vaginal suppositories were well-tolerated and effective in managing recurrent vaginal candidiasis.
