The present invention relates to an erodible polymer composition comprising an organic and / or mineral iodine compound, solid at room temperature, non-toxic, soluble in water and not inhibiting the curing catalyst.n n n The hydrolyzable polymer is chosen from a polylactic, a polyglycolic and a lactic / glycolic copolymer of molecular weight between 10,000 and 800,000, or mixtures thereof.n n n The compositions can be used for the treatment of water with continuous and controlled release of iodine for the treatment and eradication of diseases due to iodine deficiency. |
