Spectradine 5% Lotion (2 Ltr) Povidone Iodine 5% By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Povidone iodine 5% is an antiseptic used to reduce germs on the skin or around the eye before certain procedures, depending on the product formulation. The exact use depends on whether it is intended for skin, eye or another site.

How does it work?
It releases iodine, which kills or reduces a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

How to take/use it
Use only on the body site and in the manner stated on the product label or advised by a healthcare professional. Do not swallow it. Do not use a skin preparation in the eyes, or an eye preparation on the skin, unless specifically directed.

Common side effects
Temporary irritation, burning, redness or dryness may occur. Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible.

Precautions
Check the product instructions carefully because the dosage form and intended use are important. Avoid use if allergic to povidone iodine or other iodine-containing products. Seek medical help for severe irritation, swelling, breathing difficulty or other signs of an allergic reaction. Prolonged or repeated use should be medically supervised, especially in people with thyroid problems, during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
