For external use only. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Betadine 10% Solution are burning sensation, stinging, irritation and redness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Betadine 10% Solution works.
Most side effects of Betadine 10% are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of ointment 1-3 times daily or as advised by a doctor; may be covered with sterile gauze. Avoid use with tight occlusive dressings unless advised. Wash hands after application; avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
Povidone-iodine slowly releases free iodine on the skin. Iodine penetrates microorganisms and inactivates proteins and enzymes, killing a broad range of bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa.
Do not use if allergic to iodine/povidone-iodine. Avoid prolonged or extensive use, especially on large wounds/burns, as iodine can be absorbed and may affect thyroid function. Use with caution in thyroid disorders, kidney disease, and in patients on lithium therapy. Not for deep puncture wounds, animal bites or serious burns unless directed by a doctor. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation, swelling, rash or symptoms of allergy occur.
If you miss a dose of Betadine 10% Solution, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use, but swallowing an antiseptic is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Lithium (risk of thyroid dysfunction with prolonged use), Other topical antiseptics/disinfectants (may reduce effect or increase irritation), Hydrogen peroxide and silver-containing dressings, Enzymatic wound debriders (reduced activity), Mercurial antiseptics (avoid; possible irritation/chemical reaction)
