Betadine Antiseptic Ointment is a trusted solution for preventing and managing infections in minor cuts, wounds, and abrasions. It effectively combats common skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi, including those around nails and cold sores. Featuring povidone-iodine as its active ingredient, this ointment is designed to protect and heal skin quickly.

For best results, clean the wound thoroughly before application, as povidone-iodine may lose effectiveness if it comes into contact with blood or pus. Gently apply the brown, viscous ointment to the affected area 2–3 times daily. It can be covered with a bandage if needed.

Usage Instructions:

• Avoid prolonged use on large skin areas or for extended periods (e.g., over 10% of the body or more than 14 days) unless directed by a healthcare professional.
• Not recommended for children under 2 years of age.
