📌 COMPOSITION

Povidone Iodine USP 10% equivalent to available Iodine 1%.

📌 DESCRIPTION

Povex Plus (Povidone Iodine) is a broad‑spectrum antimicrobial, and it is less toxic than preparations containing free iodine. It gradually releases iodine to exert an immediate onset and prolonged duration of effect against gram‑positive and gram‑negative bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, cysts, spores and antibiotic‑resistant microorganisms. No resistance to Povex Plus' microbicidal effect has been observed. Its activity is not affected by blood, pus or soap. Povex Plus is non‑irritant to the vaginal mucosa and reduces the risk of infection and prevents recurrence of symptoms.

📌 INDICATIONS

• Broad‑spectrum antimicrobial.
• Disinfectant and cleansing douche for the treatment of candidal, trichomonal and non‑specific vaginal infections.
• Pre‑operative preparation of the vagina.

📌 DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

For treatment of vaginitis:

Add 30 ml of Povex Plus solution to half a litre of warm water (tap water) daily as a douche, preferably before bedtime during the monthly menstrual cycle. For longer periods of use, it is necessary to use the douche for two complete consecutive cycles. Consult your physician after two weeks of use.

For routine vaginal douching:

Add 30 ml of Povex Plus solution to half a litre of warm water (tap water) one or two times weekly.

Vaginal Douche Applicator - Preparation before use:

• The applicator consists of two parts (A) and (B) as shown in the illustration.
• Fill part (B) with the solution prepared in the previous step.
• Connect part (A) with part (B); the vaginal douche is then ready for use.
• Repeat this process as needed.

Method of use:

• There are three possible body positions for douching: lying down in the bath, standing up under the shower, or sitting on the toilet seat.
• Slowly insert part (A) into the vagina.
• Press part (B) firmly to douche.
• Repeat the process several times to clean properly.

Note: Relaxing the body facilitates the insertion of the douche.

Important notes:

• Use warm water (tap water) when preparing the solution, as cold water will contract the vaginal membrane, resulting in improper douching.
• Wash the applicator after use with clean water and wipe it dry.
• Do not lend your applicator to others.
• Dispose of the applicator after finishing the treatment period.
• Not to be used by virgins.
