What are Betaisodona Vaginal Suppositories and what are they used for?

Betaisodona vaginal suppositories are suppositories for insertion into the vagina. They dissolve slowly after insertion, releasing the active ingredient. Povidone-iodine has a comprehensive germicidal effect. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and protozoa (protozoa). Betaisodona vaginal suppositories enable a rapid restoration of the natural vaginal environment. Burning and itching quickly subside. Resistance (resistance of infectious agents) to povidone-iodine is not to be feared due to the mode of action. By binding to povidone, the iodine largely loses the irritant properties of alcoholic iodine preparations and is well tolerated on the skin, mucous membranes and wounds. The iodine discolours during the action process, the depth of the brown colouring therefore indicates its effectiveness. If discolouration occurs, a subsequent dose is required. Povidone iodine is water-soluble and easy to wash off.

Fields of application

Dosage and method of application

• For vaginal use (application in the vagina), remove Betaisodona Vaginal Suppository from the sachet, moisten well and insert deep into the vagina. It is recommended to wear a bandage during treatment. The recommended dose is: insert 1 Betaisodona vaginal suppository deep into the vagina in the evening before going to bed. Treatment must be carried out daily (even during menstruation). In persistent cases, Betaisodona vaginal suppositories can also be used twice a day. To support this therapy, Betaisodona Vaginal Gel can be applied to the external genital area, especially in cases of inflammation of the external vagina (vulvitis). During treatment, the partner should also always be treated with Betaisodona Vaginal Gel to prevent further infections. Do not use Betaisodona Vaginal Suppositories together with other products in the vagina.

Duration of use

• The use of Betaisodona Vaginal Suppositories should be continued as long as there are still signs of inflammation (e.g. burning or itching). If your symptoms have not improved after several days (2 to 5 days) of regular use of Betaisodona Vaginal Suppositories, or if symptoms recur after treatment has been completed, please consult your doctor. Treatment should not last longer than 5 to 10 days, but your doctor may prescribe longer treatment if necessary.

Note: Povidone-iodine can be easily removed from textiles and other materials with warm water and soap, in stubborn cases with ammonia or fixing salt (sodium thiosulphate solution).
