Description
Betadine Antiseptic Alcoholic Skin Prep
Betadine Antiseptic Alcoholic Skin Prep is a broad-spectrum antiseptic solution designed to help reduce the risk of infection by killing a wide range of microorganisms. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it suitable for preparing the skin prior to procedures where antiseptic cleansing is required.
The characteristic brown colour helps clearly identify the treated area and indicates active antiseptic coverage — while the solution remains brown, it is working. The formula is generally well tolerated, non-stinging in most cases, and suitable for use before bandaging or covering the skin.
Betadine Antiseptic Skin Prep does not permanently stain skin or most natural fabrics and is commonly used in both clinical and home first-aid settings.
