How Povidone Iodine works

Povidone Iodine falls under the Antiseptic category. The combination of povidone and iodine is known as an iodophor because povidone carries the iodine. The bactericidal effects of iodine are thought to be mediated by its active moiety. It is an antiseptic and is applied on the skin, which is infected or is likely to get infected. It works by slowly releasing iodine which kills or prevents the growth of infectious microorganisms.
