Betadine First Aid Antiseptic Povidone-Iodine 5% Spray works by killing bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses on the skin.
The active ingredient in this spray is povidone-iodine, a compound that releases iodine when it comes in contact with skin or other proteins. Iodine is a powerful disinfectant that kills microorganisms by disrupting their cell walls and membranes, as well as interfering with metabolic processes necessary for their survival.
When sprayed onto a wound or affected area, the povidone-iodine in Betadine spray starts to work immediately to kill any bacteria or other pathogens present. It also helps to prevent infections and promote healing by keeping the wound clean and free of harmful microorganisms.
In addition, Betadine spray contains glycerin, which helps to keep the skin moisturized and prevent irritation or dryness. This antiseptic spray is suitable for minor cuts, abrasions, and burns, and it can also be used as a pre-operative skin preparation to help reduce the risk of infections during surgery.
