Iodine tincture - Jodtinktur German

It is a germicidal disinfectant, made by mixing 60 grams of iodine, 40 grams of potassium iodide, and an appropriate amount of 70V/V% (volume percentage) ethanol to make a total volume of 1000 milliliters. It is a dark reddish-brown liquid with a distinctive odor. It has germicidal and local irritant properties. It is used to disinfect surgical fields, but for general wound disinfection, dilute iodine tincture, which is made by diluting this product twice with 70V/V% ethanol, is used. It should not be used in combination with mercurochrome solution, as it will cause a precipitate. Iodine tincture can be taken internally as an antiemetic, at 2-4 drops per time, or 2-4 drops can be added to a glass of water to use as a mouthwash.
