Indications
Vetedine Ointment is a Povidone-Iodine ointment (known as an Iodophor) with potent prolonged antibacterial, antifungal and virucidal activity on contact, suitable for topical disinfection and antisepsis in horses, cattle, swine, sheep and dogs with minor cuts and abrasions, burns and puncture wounds to skin. It acts by releasing iodine slowly. PVP iodine is as effective as iodine against a broad spectrum of disease causing micro- organisms, but it is less irritating to skin, and any stains are water washable. There has been no reported resistance to PVP iodine in human or animal medicine. It is non- sensitising and does not cause pain on application to wounds mucous membranes. It forms a film to protect open wounds, and is soluble in water. PVP Iodine is particularly effective in treating mixed skin infections, wound cleansing, treatment of burns and ulcers, and in skin antisepsis. It does not delay healing or granulation, and does not lose antimicrobial activity in the presence of organic matter such as blood, pus, oils, soaps, etc. Use Vetedine Ointment as an aid in the treatment or prevention of local infections in wounds, abscesses, burns and fungal infections such as Ringworm, disinfection of the navel, horn removal, castration, disinfection prior to surgery, girth galls, abrasions and puncture wounds.
