BETADINE

Betadine is a globally recognised brand of antiseptic and disinfectant products, especially popular for their ability to prevent skin and mucosal infections. The main active ingredient in Betadine products is povidone iodine, a complex that gradually releases iodine when it comes into contact with skin or mucous membranes, providing broad spectrum antimicrobial action. This agent is highly effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms, making it an essential tool in medicine, both in hospital and domestic environments.
