Betadine PVP-I Antiseptic Solution 30ml

Betadine PVP-I Antiseptic Solution is a topical antiseptic solution classified under antimicrobial skin disinfectants, containing Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I) 10 % w/v as the active ingredient. Povidone-iodine releases free iodine at the application site, which helps reduce microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses on skin surfaces and wounds. Some users may experience mild side effects including temporary skin irritation, redness, stinging, dryness, or itchiness; rare allergic reactions have also been reported. The brownish solution is commonly used for first-aid cleansing and pre-operative skin disinfection due to its broad-spectrum microbicidal action. Its trusted formula is widely available and easy to use for routine wound care when applied correctly.

How to take Betadine PVP-I Antiseptic Solution
Clean the affected area with mild soap and water and pat dry before use. Apply a thin layer of Betadine solution directly to the wound or surrounding skin using a sterile swab or clean cotton, and allow it to air-dry.

Dosage of Betadine PVP-I Antiseptic Solution
Use as needed to cover the affected area of skin one to three times daily or according to label guidance; do not apply more frequently than necessary as this will not increase effectiveness.
