Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic used for disinfecting skin and wounds, as well as preventing infections. It works by gradually releasing iodine, which destroys bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The medication is available in the form of solutions, ointments, or dressings and should be used as directed by your doctor or the manufacturer. It is important to avoid long-term use or application on large areas without medical supervision.
Side effects may include local irritation, allergic reactions, or, in rare cases, thyroid imbalances caused by iodine absorption.
Patients should inform their doctor about any known allergies, thyroid conditions, or other medications being used to ensure the safe use of povidone-iodine.
