Betadine 5% Solution 1*500ML

Betadine 5% Solution is a trusted antiseptic formulation used to treat and prevent everyday skin infections. It is ideal for minor burns, small cuts, lacerations, and abrasions where the top layer of skin has been damaged. The solution contains Povidone Iodine, an effective antimicrobial agent that helps eliminate harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. It not only cleans and protects the wound but also supports faster healing while reducing the risk of infection.

Key Benefits of Betadine 5% Solution

• Helps disinfect minor cuts, scrapes, and wounds to prevent infection.
• Aids in the treatment of superficial burns and skin abrasions.
• Acts as an antiseptic shield to protect broken skin from harmful microbes.

How Betadine 5% Solution Works

Betadine 5% Solution contains Povidone Iodine, a powerful antiseptic that gradually releases free iodine when applied to the skin. The iodine attacks and destroys the essential proteins and enzymes within microorganisms, leading to their death. This broad-spectrum action helps stop the growth and spread of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, effectively preventing infection and promoting cleaner, faster wound healing.
