Betaisodona 7 vaginal suppositories

Betaisodona vaginal suppositories are suppositories for insertion into the vagina. After insertion, they slowly dissolve and release the active ingredient. Povidone-iodine has a comprehensive germicidal effect. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and protozoa (single-celled organisms).
Betaisodona vaginal suppositories enable the natural vaginal environment to be quickly restored. Burning and itching subside quickly.
There is no risk of resistance (the ability of infectious agents to resist) to povidone-iodine due to its mode of action.
By binding to povidone, the iodine largely loses the irritating properties of alcoholic iodine preparations and is well tolerated on skin, mucous membranes and wounds.
The iodine decolorizes during the action process, so the depth of the brown color indicates its effectiveness. If discoloration occurs, additional dosage is required.
Povidone-iodine is water-soluble and easy to wash off.
