Savings of 39.12%Betadine Ointment 10% w/w is a trusted topical antiseptic solution containing Povidone Iodine 10% w/w. It is commonly used for preventing and treating infections in minor skin conditions such as infections around nails, minor burns, cuts, and abrasions. Povidone Iodine is effective against a broad spectrum of infection-causing microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
The active ingredient, Povidone Iodine, works by releasing iodine, which penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms. This disrupts their essential proteins and nucleic acid structure, effectively deactivating them. This action helps to manage existing infections and promote faster healing of the affected skin area.
Important safety information: Do not use Betadine Ointment 10% w/w on extensive burn areas or large areas of the skin unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional. Avoid using this ointment if you have kidney or thyroid problems, or if you are undergoing therapy with lithium or mercury derivatives. Always consult your doctor before use.
Uses:
- For the effective management and prevention of infections in common skin conditions, including those affecting the skin around nails.
- To prevent and treat infections in minor burns, cuts, and abrasions.
- As a topical antiseptic for general wound care to promote a clean healing environment.
