Betadine 5% Solution 1000ml

Betadine 5% Solution is used for managing skin infections in minor cuts, wounds, burns, and abrasions. It contains Povidone Iodine (5%), a broad-spectrum antiseptic that kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Commonly applied before and after surgical procedures, injections, or venipuncture, it helps disinfect the skin and reduce the risk of infection. This solution is also effective in managing superficial skin infections like impetigo and folliculitis. Its brown colour indicates active germicidal presence. 

• Povidone Iodine (5%): Povidone Iodine is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant agent. It works by slowly releasing iodine, which kills a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria (both Gram-positive and Gram-negative), fungi, viruses, protozoa, and even bacterial spores. It is effective in managing infections in minor cuts, wounds, and burns, and is also used for surgical skin preparation. Unlike pure iodine, Povidone Iodine is less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, making it suitable for repeated application.

• Helps Manage Infections in Minor Wounds: Betadine 5% Solution is commonly used on minor skin injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, and burns. It forms a protective barrier by eliminating bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin, significantly reducing the risk of infection and helping in quicker healing without complications.
   
• Disinfects Skin Before and After Surgery: This solution is widely used in hospitals and clinics to disinfect the skin before surgical procedures or injections. By reducing the number of microbes on the skin, it helps manage surgical site infections and supports sterile operating conditions.
   
• For Skin Infections: It is effective in managing superficial skin infections like impetigo and folliculitis, which are caused by bacteria. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial action helps reduce inflammation, stop the infection from spreading, and promote skin recovery.
   
• Cleans Skin Before Injections or Venipuncture: Prior to administering injections or drawing blood, Betadine is applied to cleanse the skin. This inhibits the entry of harmful microbes into the bloodstream, thereby minimising the risk of systemic infections.
   
• For Secondary Infections In Wounds: In already damaged or healing skin, Betadine helps manage new infections from setting in. This ensures a clean healing environment.

• Should be applied full strength, as often as required, as a paint or wet soak.
