Spectradine 10% Lotion (500 Ml) Povidone Iodine 10% By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Povidone iodine 10% is a topical antiseptic used to help prevent or treat infection in minor cuts, grazes, burns and other small skin wounds. It may also be used to disinfect the skin before certain procedures, as directed by a healthcare professional.

How does it work?
It slowly releases iodine, which kills or inactivates many types of bacteria, viruses and fungi on the skin.

How to take/use it
For external use only. Clean the affected area and apply the product as directed on the label or by a healthcare professional. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other mucous membranes, and do not swallow it.

Common side effects
Temporary skin irritation, redness, dryness or a stinging sensation may occur. Stop using it and seek medical help if severe irritation, swelling or difficulty breathing develops.

Precautions
Do not use if allergic to povidone iodine or iodine-containing products. Avoid applying it repeatedly over large areas or for prolonged periods unless advised by a healthcare professional. Ask a doctor before use in newborns, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if there is thyroid disease or treatment with lithium. Seek medical advice if the wound is deep, extensive, badly burned or not improving.
