Lugol - the main active substance is molecular iodine, which has an antiseptic and locally irritating effect. It has bactericidal action against gram-negative and gram-positive flora, and also acts on pathogenic fungi (including yeast); Staphylococcus spp. are more resistant to iodine, but with prolonged use of the drug in 80% of cases, staphylococcal flora is suppressed; Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to the action of the drug. When applied to the vast surfaces of the skin and mucous membranes, Iodine exerts a resorptive action: it participates in the synthesis of T3 and T4.

The potassium iodide improves the dissolution of iodine in water, and glycerol has a softening effect.

Pharmacokinetics

In case of application of the drug in recommended doses, resorption of iodine through the skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity is negligible. Upon contact with mucous membranes, it is converted to iodides by 30%. If swallowed accidentally, iodine is rapidly absorbed. The adsorbed part penetrates well into tissues and organs, accumulates in the tissues of the thyroid gland. It is excreted by the kidneys (mainly), to a lesser degree with the calves and sweat. Penetrates the milk of lactating women.
