The Ototoxicity of Topically Applied Povidone-Iodine Preparations

Abstract
• The ototoxicity of povidone-iodine solution and scrub, when topically applied to the round window of the chinchilla, was studied by means of compound action potentials. Povidone-iodine scrub has a greater ototoxic potential than povidone-iodine solution. One day after topical application of dilutions of 1% povidone-iodine solution, a 1:4 dilution showed a substantial ototoxic effect, while a 1:10 dilution did not. (Arch Otolaryngol 1982;108:210-213)
