Povidone iodine solution is a commonly used disinfectant containing povidone and iodide, which has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect and can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Usually, for superficial wounds, incisions, burns or abrasions, povidone iodine solution can be used for cleaning and disinfection. It can also be used for disinfection of medical equipment, surgical instruments, etc. When using, it is necessary to apply the solution to the area that needs to be disinfected, and then wait for a period of time for it to have a disinfection effect. After use, cleaning is generally not necessary. Povidone iodine solution will evaporate on its own, leaving behind sterile iodide.
It is recommended to use under the guidance of a doctor and avoid self medication. Povidone iodine solution is only for external use and should not be taken orally or applied to sensitive areas such as the eyes. If any discomfort or allergic reactions occur during use, please stop using immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals who are allergic to this product, pregnant women, and lactating women are prohibited from using povidone iodine solution.
