    Special caution should be taken not to use the drug Povidone Iodine during pregnancy. Iodine is a drug commonly used to kill bacteria, but its use during pregnancy may cause harm to the fetus. Studies have shown that iodophors may lead to excessive production of iodine, which may affect fetal thyroid function.

    If you are planning a pregnancy or are pregnant, be sure to tell your doctor about your pregnancy and ask for their advice on iodophor. Your doctor may advise you to avoid using iodine or to use it only when absolutely necessary.

    The effects of iodine during pregnancy have not been fully studied, so it is best avoided during pregnancy to ensure the health of the fetus. If you have any questions or need further explanation, please ask your doctor. Protecting yourself and your baby's health is the most important thing.
