Lugol Pharmacodynamics
The main active ingredient is molecular iodine, which has antiseptic and locally irritating effect. It has bactericidal action against Gram-negative and Gram-positive flora, as well as against pathogenic fungi (including yeasts); Staphylococcus spp. are more resistant to iodine, but suppression of staphylococcal flora is observed in 80% of cases during long-term use of the drug; Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to the drug action. When applied to large surfaces of skin and mucous membranes, iodine has a resorptive effect: it participates in the synthesis of TK and T4, has proteolytic action. Potassium iodide improves dissolution of iodine in water. Glycerol has a soothing effect. The drug is low-toxic.
