“O for a horse with wings!”
William Shakespeare ‘Cymbeline’ (1609-10) act 3, sc. 2, l. [49] Photo shows 52yo Mrs Eunice Stace setting a new lady’s side saddle jumping record of 6ft 6” (= 1.98m) in 1915 at the Sydney Royal Easter Show on her horse Emu Plains. And who said emu’s cant fly?
PHARMACOLOGY
PVP 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 or 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 of newborns, dehorning, castration, disinfection prior to surgery, girth galls, abrasions and puncture wounds.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply to the affected area twice daily or as directed by the veterinary surgeon. Care should be exercised using iodine on extensive wounds or deep burns especially over extended periods. Does not permanently stain skin or natural fibres. Wash with soap and water to remove.
