POVIDONE IODINE 10% 100ML

Description

Povidone 10% Solution 100 ml belongs to the class of ‘antiseptics and disinfectants’ primarily used to treat common skin infections. It treats and prevents skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cut in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). Skin infection occurs when foreign microorganisms like fungus or bacteria invade the skin and affect the tissues.

Povidone Solution 100 ml contains Povidone Iodine. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, iodine can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidizes essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Povidone is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

Povidone 10% Solution 100 ml is for external use only. It may cause common side effects like red or inflamed skin, peeling skin, dry skin, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist longer, please seek medical help.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to iodine or povidone. Let your doctor know if you have thyroid diseases, liver, and kidney problems before starting Betadine 10% Solution 100 ml. Please tell your doctor if you are undergoing any lithium therapy or radioactive iodine treatment.
