The alcohol contained in the medicine has a retaining effect on the main component, as a result of which iodine remains longer in the cells of the treated tissues and mucous membranes. The advantage of Iodinol is that it blocks cellular proteins. Capable of destroying gram-positive bacteria and microorganisms with two or more membranes.
Iodinol for sore throat
The drug Iodinol acts on pathogenic microflora, on the microbes themselves, especially streptococci, as a bactericide. Staphylococci are considered more resistant to treatment, but even with prolonged exposure they die in 80% of cases. Only Pseudomonas aeruginosa has complete immunity to the drug.
The medicine is low toxic, but can irritate the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx. Considering this, when a sore throat develops, it is better to use the solution for rinsing. Drinking Iodinol is not advisable, because if you make mistakes in dilution, exceed the concentration and take too long to treat, you can get burns to the mucous membrane of the stomach and esophagus. Otolaryngologists carry out the procedure of washing the lacunae of the tonsils with the drug. A single dosage is 50 ml. Repeat treatment every 2 days.

- If there is significant discomfort or a tendency to develop a gag reflex, it is necessary to dilute the product with water.
Frequency of procedures implementation
Rinses with the medicine Iodinol are organized according to the severity of the sore throat. Procedures are carried out 3-4 times a day every 4 hours. In uncomplicated cases, only two rinses per day are sufficient. The course of therapy for adults lasts no longer than 5 days, and to continue it you will need the approval of a doctor.
In addition to rinsing with the solution, the tonsils and the suppuration on them are lubricated. To do this, you will need a regular cotton swab, which must be used with Iodinol to treat the mucous membrane of the tonsils. To improve the disinfecting effect of rinsing and lubricating, it is recommended to alternate.
Important! The medicine must be re-prepared before each use. Under the influence of oxygen, the active components begin to dissolve and decompose, losing their beneficial properties.

Rules for rinsing
The organization of the procedure and recommendations on how to gargle with Iodinol are no different from manipulating soda or calendula.
- You need to take a little solution into your mouth and tilt your head back.
- The throat is rinsed with Iodinol for 30 seconds, then the liquid is spat out.
The steps must be repeated until the medicine in the glass runs out. After completing the procedure, it is not recommended to eat or drink for some time, and try not to talk. Thus, the beneficial components will be able to act on the tonsils longer and without difficulty, increasing the effectiveness of treatment.
How to gargle with Iodinol
A product containing iodine is prescribed for spot treatment of wound areas of the epithelium. But you can also use it to gargle with purulent sore throat. The solution cannot be used in its pure form - it can cause serious burns, so it is important to know how to dilute the medicine.
The dosage is the same for any group of patients. There are several recommendations on how to dilute Iodinol for sore throat.
Recommendations for breeding:
- Use a medicinal substance with a good shelf life
- The water for the solution should be warm
- The dosage of the drug is 15 ml of Iodinol per 200 ml of water.
- It is necessary to introduce the drug into water by drops until a slightly bluish tint is obtained.
There are no special conditions for how to properly gargle with a sore throat. It is important not to violate the instructions. It is advisable to gargle for sore throat 3-4 times a day. In case of acute manifestation of a sore throat, it would not be superfluous to combine this procedure by treating the pharynx with a cotton swab soaked in iodine solution. The Iodinol solution should be slightly higher in concentration than what is used for rinsing. A cotton swab dipped in the solution is used to cauterize the inflamed areas of the mucous membrane with purulent areas.
Rinse with Iodinol in children
The instructions for using Iodinol for gargling stipulate that this is not recommended for a child under 6 years of age. Children cannot always carry out the procedure correctly; there is a risk of swallowing the solution, which is strictly contraindicated for all patients. If the child knows how to rinse correctly, and the parents are completely confident that he will not swallow the medicine, treatment can be organized, but after checking the sensitivity to iodine.
If a child has a sore throat, it is effective to lubricate the affected tonsils with Iodinol. The main thing is not to overdo it with its quantity. The instructions for use for children indicate that a high concentration of iodine provokes iodism - an excess of the substance in the body, which is accompanied by:
- increase in heart rate;
- skin rash;
- pain in the stomach;
- vomiting;
- swelling of the mucous membranes.
Composition and main characteristics of Iodinol
Iodine for the throat is available in the form of a solution. The product is sold in tinted glass bottles of one hundred and two hundred milliliters. The main components of the medicine are iodine and potassium, as well as polyvinyl alcohol. Iodine for sore throat has a bluish color and a special smell. The solubility of the drug is high.
Doctors recommend using Iodinol for sore throat to stop the inflammatory process and remove infectious agents. The presence of polyvinyl alcohol in the solution minimizes the negative impact of the active substance and helps to increase the period of activity of the medication.
Iodinol is active against yeast pathogens and harmful fungi. Also, the medication is valid in case of infection with gram-negative and positive pathogenic microorganisms. The drug is most effective against streptococci and E. coli. Staphylococci are much more resistant to the active components of the product, and therefore are deactivated only in 80 percent of cases of Iodinol therapy.
Bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa are considered resistant to the components of the drug.
The positive characteristics of the drug include low toxicity. Among the negative ones is the ability to greatly irritate the mucous membranes. Therefore, to the question whether it is possible to smear the tonsils with iodine, the answer is rather negative - in order to avoid damage to the tissue of the tonsils, it is better to limit therapy to ordinary rinses.
Internal use at home is prohibited. The slightest deviation from the correct dosage when diluting the medicine will be enough to cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract.
Doctors prescribe the medication Iodinol for the procedure of washing the tonsils. Otolaryngologists advise using up to 50 milliliters of the drug at a time and limiting it to four procedures with a break of two days.
Drug during pregnancy and lactation
The instructions for use of Iodinol clearly indicate that it is prohibited for the treatment of sore throat in pregnant women and nursing mothers. Iodine is able to pass through the placenta and be deposited in the mammary glands. The solution comes into contact with a large area of the mucous surface, thereby ensuring rapid absorption of iodine from the medicine.
Important! An alternative option for pregnant women is to lubricate sore tonsils. Iodine supplied in this way is useful even during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Contraindications and side effects
Some people suffer from hypersensitivity to some of the components of Iodinol. In this case, there is a danger of irritation of the mucous cavity or an allergy.
A long course of drug therapy can provoke iodism. The patient will develop skin rashes and increased salivation.
The medication is not prescribed to patients prone to thyrotoxicosis. Doctors strongly advise pregnant and breastfeeding women to refrain from using the medicine.
In case of hypersensitivity to the components, the patient may experience the following side effects of the drug:
- Allergic reactions;
- Skin rashes;
- Itching;
- Increased salivation;
- Runny nose and tearfulness.
If the dosage of the drug is exceeded or if the tonsils are lubricated with the drug, there is a possibility of gastrointestinal pathologies and renal failure.
Rules for lubricating tonsils
To lubricate the tonsils, the medicine does not need to be diluted with water. The solution is applied using a special brush, a swab and tweezers, or a regular cotton swab.
Rules for the procedure:
- Pour a little medicine into a container - a lid or a small glass.
- Dip a swab (brush, cotton swab) into the solution.
- Treat the affected area several times.
- The remaining solution should not be poured back into the vial; it must be discarded.
The same algorithm is used to carry out the lubrication procedure for children with sore throat. It is not very pleasant, but it is safer for the child than rinsing, if you follow the care and all the recommendations of a specialist.
Iodinol - composition
The composition of the drug includes the following components:
- Iodine - 100 milligrams;
- Polyvinyl alcohol - 900 milligrams;
- Potassium iodide - 300 milligrams.
All these components complement each other, which explains the high effectiveness of this medication. The drug has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties . The tandem of polyvinyl alcohol and potassium iodide affects the level of iodine in the body, replenishing its deficiency. At the same time, the presence of polyvinyl alcohol in the composition of the drug Iodinol has its purpose - this component slows down the release of iodine in the drug, which reduces possible irritation from the effects of iodine on the treated body tissues, and also prolongs the effect of the active substance.
The drug is produced in the form of darkened translucent bottles, the volume of each of which is 100 milliliters. This medicine is sold without a prescription.
Contraindications
Doctors confirm that for sore throat, it is more effective to lubricate the throat with Iodinol solution, because the medicine then goes directly to the tonsils. Rinsing also has a positive effect on the inflamed area, but due to the lower concentration of the drug, their effectiveness is reduced.
For such procedures, Iodinol is used several times a day. If purulent plugs form on the tonsils, repeated treatment with the drug will be required. When organizing the procedure three or more times a day, the activity and spread of the infectious process noticeably decreases, and the intensity of pain decreases.
Indications for use should be clarified by a doctor. For angina, medicine becomes part of an integrated approach to treatment. Iodinol helps relieve sore throat and destroy pathogenic microorganisms. This is very important for bacterial tonsillitis.
But Iodinol also has its own contraindications, which should definitely be known before starting treatment with it:
- hypersensitivity to iodine;
- dysfunction of the thyroid gland;
- pregnancy and lactation.
Also, if the following negative signs appear, you should definitely stop taking the drug Iodinol:
- copious amounts of saliva;
- swelling of the throat mucosa;
- rhinitis.
Important! If any adverse reactions develop, you should consult a doctor rather than try to treat a sore throat on your own.
Contraindications for use
The main contraindications to the use of the product are:
- Pregnancy of any stage;
- Yodism;
- Thyrotoxicosis;
- Lactation period.
Like any other drug, Iodinol can provoke individual intolerance in the form of allergies. Therefore, the first time you use the product, you should be especially careful.
In addition, with prolonged use of rinses due to excess iodine, symptoms such as increased salivation and skin rashes may appear.
When used correctly, the drug does not have any negative effects and helps to quickly improve the condition of patients with tonsillitis or tonsillitis.

Iodinol is considered a low-toxic drug, however, it exhibits some aggressiveness towards the mucous membranes of the mouth and pharynx. Taking this into account for tonsillitis, sore throat, and stomatitis, it should be used only as a local treatment in the form of rinses. It is not advisable to take this medicine orally, since with improper dilution or prolonged use there is a risk of burns to the esophagus and stomach.

Iodine in its pure form irritates tissues, causing denaturation (destruction of structure) of proteins. Polyvinyl alcohol reduces this undesirable effect of iodine on the patient.
It protects the mucous membrane from the irritating effect of iodine, increases the time the drug acts on the mucous membrane, and slows down the removal of active substances from the body.
