Skin antiseptic for cleaning/disinfecting minor cuts, wounds, abrasions and burns; pre-operative skin preparation; antiseptic cleansing to help prevent infection.

Povidone iodine slowly releases free iodine on the skin. Iodine penetrates microorganisms and oxidizes/iodinates proteins and nucleic acids, leading to broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi, viruses and some protozoa.

For external use only. Apply undiluted on the affected area using cotton/gauze and allow to dry; can be used 1–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. For pre-op skin prep, apply to the surgical site as per hospital protocol. Avoid contact with eyes and do not swallow.

Skin irritation, burning or stinging, redness, itching, dryness, rash, allergic contact dermatitis, temporary skin staining

For external use only. Do not use if allergic to iodine/povidone. Avoid use on large areas, deep puncture wounds, severe burns, or prolonged use without medical advice due to risk of iodine absorption and thyroid effects. Use with caution in thyroid disorders, patients on lithium, and in renal impairment. Stop use and seek medical help if severe irritation, swelling, or signs of allergy occur. Avoid contact with eyes/ears; if contact occurs rinse with water. Not for use in neonates/premature infants unless advised by a doctor.

Lithium (increased risk of hypothyroidism), other topical antiseptics/oxidizing agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide, silver preparations, mercury-containing products) may reduce effectiveness or increase irritation; may interfere with thyroid function tests and radioiodine diagnostics/therapy.
