Betadine Solution is an antiseptic containing iodine and is widely used for many medical purposes due to its effective germ and bacteria eliminating properties. It is used to disinfect superficial wounds and scratches to remove any contamination that may lead to infection, thus accelerating the healing process. In addition, Betadine Solution is used to prepare the skin area before surgical procedures, as it works to reduce the risk of infection spreading from the surrounding skin to the surgical incision sites.
Betadine Solution may be used as an oral gargle to sterilize the mouth and throat, based on the doctor's instructions. It is always recommended to adhere to the instructions for use written on the package or those provided by the competent medical authorities to ensure optimal benefit and avoid any potential side effects.
