What is Betadine Antiseptic Spray?
Product Overview
Betadine Antiseptic Spray is a topical medication designed for the treatment and prevention of infections in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. This 100 mL spray bottle delivers a convenient and effective way to cleanse and protect wounds, promoting faster healing.
Historically, iodine-based antiseptics have been used for wound care for many years. The spray format allows for easy application to hard-to-reach areas and ensures even coverage, minimizing the risk of infection.
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient in Betadine Antiseptic Spray is povidone-iodine 5%. Povidone-iodine works by releasing iodine, which kills a wide range of germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This broad-spectrum action helps to prevent infections in minor wounds.
Povidone-iodine kills germs through oxidation, a process that damages the cell walls and essential components of microorganisms, leading to their destruction. It is effective against common pathogens that can cause wound infections.
