Why choose Betadine?
When minor injuries occur, quick and effective antiseptic treatment is essential to reduce the risk of infection. Betadine’s active ingredient, povidone-iodine, works by releasing iodine to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact. Its broad-spectrum action helps stop infections before they start, giving you peace of mind for family care and everyday first aid.

How Betadine works
Betadine contains povidone-iodine, a powerful antiseptic agent that slowly releases free iodine. This iodine penetrates microbes, disrupting their structure and killing them effectively. Unlike some antiseptics that target only bacteria, Betadine’s formula is broad-spectrum, making it effective against viruses and fungi as well.

- Clean the wound: Wash the affected area with water and gently pat dry.
- Apply Betadine: Pour or dab a small amount of the solution directly onto the wound.
- Allow to dry: Let the antiseptic sit for a few moments before covering with a dressing.

Who should use Betadine?

Ailsa Cameron –
When my dog scrapes himself at the park, I reach for Betadine; a quick dab cleans the wound and keeps infection at bay thanks to its broad‑spectrum formula. It’s super easy to use and doesn’t seem to sting him, which makes both of us less stressed during first‑aid moments. I trust Betadine because it’s been around forever and works on people too, so I keep a bottle in our pet kit and it gives me peace of mind.
