Uses:
Skin infections, Cuts, Scrapes, and Burns.
Medicinal Benefits:
Xepi Scrub PVP is an antiseptic and disinfectant used to treat and prevent skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Xepi Scrub PVP is effective against bacteria (gram-positive and gram-negative, including antibiotic-resistant and antiseptic-resistant strains), fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
Xepi Scrub PVP works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, Iodine in Xepi Scrub PVP can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidises essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death.
Xepi Scrub PVP is for external use only. Do not swallow or put Xepi Scrub PVP in the eyes. Please read the instructions leaflet of Xepi Scrub PVP carefully before using. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on your condition.
Xepi Scrub PVP is not recommended for use if you are undergoing any lithium therapy or treatment involving radioactive iodine. Xepi Scrub PVP should not be used before or after radioiodine scintigraphy or radioiodine treatment of thyroid carcinoma. In such conditions, please consult your doctor before using Xepi Scrub PVP.
Xepi Scrub PVP may interfere with thyroid function tests due to iodine absorption. Please consult your doctor before starting Xepi Scrub PVP if you have any history of thyroid problems. Xepi Scrub PVP may also show false-positive lab results, such as tests with toluidine or gum guaiac, to determine haemoglobin or glucose in the stool or the urine.
Please consult your doctor if you are using any other topical medicines before starting Xepi Scrub PVP. However, products containing enzymatic component, alkali, mercury, silver, hydrogen peroxide, tannic acid, and taurolidine may interact with Xepi Scrub PVP and should not be used simultaneously.
