Balvidine 5 % Solution 500 ML contains povidone-iodine (5%), which acts on your body in several ways:

• Release of free iodine: Povidone-iodine works by slowly releasing free iodine. This iodine penetrates the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.

• Disrupts protein synthesis: The released iodine disrupts protein synthesis within these cells. This process eventually leads to their death, thus eliminating the infection.

• Sustained antimicrobial activity: The slow-release formulation ensures that the antimicrobial action of povidone-iodine is prolonged. This reduces your risk of reinfection by maintaining an antiseptic environment over a longer period.

• Store Balvidine 5 % Solution 500 ML at room temperature, ideally between 15-25 degrees Celsius.

• Close the bottle tightly after use.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before using the solution.

• Maintain good personal hygiene by regularly washing your hands, especially before applying Balvidine 5 % Solution 500 ML. This can help prevent further infections.
