FAQs
Intadine Power is primarily used to treat and prevent common skin infections. It is effective for skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (where the first layer of skin is scraped off).
Intadine Power works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, Iodine in Intadine Power can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidise essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death.
Intadine Power is not recommended for use if you are undergoing any lithium therapy or treatment involving radioactive iodine. Intadine Power should not be used before or after radioiodine scintigraphy or radioiodine treatment of thyroid carcinoma. In such conditions, please consult your doctor before using Intadine Power.
Intadine Power may interfere with thyroid function tests due to the absorption of iodine. Please consult your doctor before starting Intadine Power if you have any history of thyroid problems. Intadine Power may also yield false-positive lab results, such as tests using toluidine or guaiac, to detect haemoglobin or glucose in the stool or urine.
Please consult your doctor if you are using any other topical medicines before starting Intadine Power. However, products containing an enzymatic component, alkali, mercury, silver, hydrogen peroxide, tannic acid, and taurolidine may interact with Intadine Power and should not be used simultaneously.
Intadine Power is typically used until the wound (minor cuts, scrapes, and burns) has healed. Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of the wound. Always follow the doctor's specific instructions, and they will determine the duration of usage.
No, Intadine Power is not an antibiotic; it is an antiseptic and disinfectant used to heal wounds (minor cuts, scrapes, and burns).
Intadine Power can be applied to open wounds as an effective antiseptic, killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi to prevent infections. However, use it cautiously, follow instructions carefully, and consult a doctor for large or deep wounds, as improper use can irritate.
Intadine Power can cause staining due to its iodine content. It may temporarily discolour the skin and permanently stain clothing. To minimise stains, wash affected clothing promptly, and the skin will fade with regular washing.
Intadine Power can be used for skin disinfection before surgery or injections, wound care for minor cuts and burns, gynaecological procedures, and first aid for initial wound cleaning.
To apply Intadine Power to an injury, first, clean the area with soap and water (to remove mud or external particles). Then, using a clean cotton swab or gauze pad, apply the solution to the wound, ensuring it covers the affected area. Allow it to dry naturally. If needed, cover the wound with a sterile bandage. Follow your doctor's advice on reapplication and avoid using it on large or deep wounds without consulting a medical professional.
Using Intadine Power may affect your thyroid, depending on the duration of use and individual thyroid health. Since it releases iodine, which influences thyroid hormones, it is crucial to inform your doctor about any thyroid issues before starting treatment. Your doctor will assess the risks and provide personalised guidance.
