Povidone Iodine passes into the placenta and is secreted in breast milk. Thyroid function disorders including congenital hypothyroidism have been reported in the offspring of mothers who have received Iodine.
Povidone Iodine use should be avoided unless the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the foetus and neonate or if a safer alternative is unavailable.
Fertility: There are limited human fertility data for Povidone iodine. No data are available on fertility outcomes.
