Cadexomer Iodine is a dual-action wound management product that is used for the treatment of leg and diabetic ulcers. It has antimicrobial properties that prevent infection at the site and promotes healing.

Patients treated with Cadexomer Iodine may experience slight pain within the first hour after application. Minor reddening or swelling around the wound may occur without necessarily being an allergic reaction. Although this is temporary, contact your doctor immediately if it does not subside.

Ideally, this medicine should not be used for longer than 3 months without checking with your doctor. This varies from patient to patient and their condition.

Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not apply extra medicine to make up for the missed dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. In order to avoid missing a dose, use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to use your medication. You may also ask a family member a friend to remind you or check in with you to be sure you are using your medication.

No, this medicine should not be used in children under 12 years of age.

As with most medications, Cadexomer Iodine should be stored at room temperature. Store it in a secure location where it will not be exposed to excessive heat, moisture, or direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children. Make sure that any leftover portion is disposed of safely.
