Betadine Antiseptic Ointment is recommended for the treatment of burns, wounds of septic and aseptic of trophic ulcers, bedsores, infected skin around the nails and tinea, and other skin infections and super infected dermatoses.


It is used as an antiseptic for skin that is infected or that is likely to become infected. Povidone iodine works by slowly releasing iodine which kills or prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi and viruses.

In general this is used to prevent or treat infection in wounds including ulcers, burns, cuts, minor surgical procedures and other minor injuries. 

The typical uses of povidone iodine

Prevention of infections in wounds including ulcers, burns and cuts. 
Treatment of infection in minor wounds. 
First aid for minor cuts, grazes, burns, abrasions and blisters. 
Antiseptic cleanser for surgeons and theatre staff before surgery. 
Cleaning of a patient's skin before surgery. 

Cuts wounds and abrasions

Apply Betadine liberally to the injured area using a cotton tipped applicator or cotton wool as desired. Wipe away from the cut and cover the surrounding area well. 

Minor Burns

Cool immediately in cold water for 10‐20 minutes. If red or blistered, cover with a non‐stick sterile dressing and see a doctor. 

Blisters

If a blister breaks, it is especially prone to infection. For this reason, treat an unbroken blister as you would one that is broken. Apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid or Ointment, next, cover with a non stick dressing and secure in place with adhesive strapping or, if the blister is small, cover with a small adhesive dressing. 

Tinea (Athletes Foot)

At the first sign of itching, reddening or peeling apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid or Ointment liberally. Repeat application 3 or 4 times a day. 

Paronychia (Infected skin around the nails): 

Paronychia is inflammation of the skin folds around the nail. At the first sign of infection apply Betadine Antiseptic Liquid or Ointment liberally to the affected area. Repeat application 3 or 4 times daily. Keep the affected area as dry as possible. 

Ringworm

Ringworm is another name for tinea. The term is generally used when the infection is found on skin areas other than the feet. It should be treated exactly the same way as tinea however, if the affected area is on the head (tinea capitis) it might require special treatment, such as shaving. In this case, professional medical advice should be sought.
