Action & Uses
LUGOL Solution 5% is an agent used for differentiating normal from suspicious tissues. Normal tissue stains brown due to its high glycogen content, while tissue suspicious for malformations does not stain, and thus appears pale compared to the surrounding tissue. Wash after use with water or normal saline.
