5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties


Iodine based teat dips have broad spectrum antibacterial action, against mastitis causative organisms. The microbiological action of iodine appears to be due to an oxidative – reductive reaction involving various cell wall constituents which are irreversibly transformed. It appears sulfhydryl linkages, in bacterial cell wall components are specifically targeted by the iodine


5.2 Pharmacokinetic particulars


The absorption of iodine through the skin from teat dipping applications is well below levels which would indicate pharmokinetic activity of the type described in the committee for veterinary medicinal products summary report on iodine
