Method of producing standardized iodophor preparations and such preparations.

摘要

Pharmaceutical iodophor preparations are prepared which contain free iodine, in addition to the complex-bound iodine, the free iodine providing effective, predictable microbicidal activity with long term effectiveness. The preparations are made by adjusting the iodine to iodide ratio of an iodophor preparation to provide free iodine and then stabilizing the free iodine level to the desired killing effectiveness level by the addition of an oxidizing agent.
