How Betadine 5% Ointment Works

• The ointment slowly releases iodine when applied to the skin
• Iodine penetrates microorganisms and destroys essential proteins, enzymes, and other cellular components
• This prevents the growth and spread of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa on the wound
• By eliminating microbes, it promotes faster wound healing and keeps the area sterile
