About this medicine

Betadine Powder is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent. It is used in the treatment and prevention of infection in minor wounds, cuts, small burns, abrasions, and other infected skin conditions, and pre-/post-surgical skin preparation. Betadine Powder is for external use only. You should always use it exactly as your doctor has told you. The affected area should be clean and dry before applying.

Rarely, skin reactions may occur (e.g., which can appear in the form of pruritus, erythema, small blisters, or similar manifestations). Consult your doctor if you experience any side effects that persist or worsen. Avoid direct contact with your eyes. In case of direct contact, wash your eyes with plenty of water.
