Betadine Antiseptic Ointment 25g

Betadine Ointment

Being a bacterial, sporicidal and fungicidal antiseptic, Betadine antiseptic ointment is one of the most effective antiseptics available. 

The active ingredient in Betadine Antiseptic Ointment is the golden brown povidone-iodine. The colouring of povidone-iodine highlights the treated area and has the advantage of being able to indicate the activity of the product. As the iodine is absorbed the colour fades. Once the colour has faded to a light yellow it is time to reapply.

In most cases Betadine antiseptics are non-irritating and non-stinging to the skin. They do not permanently stain the skin or natural fabrics and the treated areas may be bandaged, taped or otherwise covered.

Betadine treats 
• Cuts wounds and abrasions
• Minor burns
• Blisters
• Tinea (Athletes Foot)
• Paronychia (Infected skin around the nails)
• Ringworm 

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
