Amyloiodine

The action of the drug is based on the slow release of elemental iodine from the complex compound, iodine adduct and some high molecular weight organic substances. The first drug of this type was the so-called Blue Iodine. The effect of turning a brown alcohol solution of iodine into blue when mixed with starch has been known for a very long time, but for the first time this complex was used by V.O. Mokhnach for therapeutic purposes. V.O. Mokhnach was in forced labor camps of the Office of the North-Eastern Labor Camps of the Gulag of the USSR in 1940-1941; there, during an epidemic of dysentery, he first applied a mixture of an alcoholic solution of iodine and potato peelings to treat patients. Back in the 50s. Mokhnach prepared a series of studies of iodine antiseptics, called "Iodine starch", "amyloiodine".

Transparent liquid of dark blue color , characteristic odor .

• An aqueous solution (1%) for external and internal use (contains iodine 0.1 g, potassium iodide 0.3 g, starch 1 g; distilled water 100 ml).

Iodism (with prolonged use). With too small daily doses (about 1 teaspoon), pathogens can develop resistant strains, so the minimum dosage is prescribed from 5 teaspoons for an adult.
