About Betadine (Povidone-Iodine)

Betadine products are made with povidone-iodine, a form of iodine used in antiseptics for well over a century. Povidone acts as a carrier that releases iodine gradually, helping make it water soluble, less irritating, and less likely to stain than iodine alone.

How It Works

Povidone-iodine is designed to kill a wide range of microbes. The iodine component disrupts key structures inside microorganisms (including cell walls and essential cellular components), helping stop infection before it takes hold.

Helping Prevent Infection in Minor Wounds

Your skin is the body’s first barrier against germs. When skin is broken by a minor cut or abrasion, using an antiseptic like Betadine can help reduce the risk of infection.
