IODOFLEX Impregnated dressing Ref.[50120] Active ingredients: Cadexomer iodine

In adults and the elderly, Iodoflex unit-dose paste is applied to the wound surface and then covered with a dry gauze dressing. The frequency of change depends on the exudation from the wound. Changes should be made when the Iodoflex unit-dose paste has become saturated with wound exudate, indicated by loss of colour, usually two to three times a week. If the wound is exuding heavily, daily changes may be needed.

Each time the unit dose paste is changed and at the end of the treatment the remaining Iodoflex should be gently removed from the wound surface with a stream of water or saline.

A single application should not exceed 50g. The total amount of Iodoflex used in one week should not exceed 150g.

The duration of treatment should not exceed three months in any single course of treatment.

There is no experience in children, therefore Iodoflex is not recommended.

There have been no reported overdosages. In case of excessive topical use of the Iodoflex paste, the treatment should be stopped, the area washed and symptomatic treatment introduced.

48 months.

The product should be stored below 25°C.
