Re: DMSO for Fire Ant NOW Povidone % labeling

[Guest guest]

Hi, I know you know your pharmaceuticals, Garnet ... but mine clearly

is labeled as 10% Iodine. How do they get by with deceptive %

labeling, or can it vary by state requirements? This is Nebraska. (I'm

a lazy lawyer !!!)(Actually trying to relax from a very stressful case

... and hate to exercise the brain right now... am in for brain &

energy " R & R " .. nothing too strenuous! It is not labeled with

decimals or I'd figure that I was slipping a decimal, (or something

), but clear " 10% " . ???? Joyce

Is it Betadine Solution or Betadine Surgical Scrub?

My Betadine says 10% Iodine but also says that only 1% is active. That

may explain the confusion.

I am checking over my bottle now as I look for any indication of

" active " or some other type of minimizing ... nothing on it. The

Label starts out with NDC0603-1550 -56 at the very top, then in BIG

letters is " POVIDONE IODINE 10% SOLUTION " . The fine print with

warnings, indications, and administration, seems to point primarily to

pre-op prepping, treatment of all sorts of things, not to allow it to

pool under patient etc. The company is Qualitest Pharmaceuticals of

Huntsville, AL.

So, maybe Alabama & Nebraska aren't so strict or the labeling is still

" off " somehow to show actual strength. Joyce
