Overview Walvidone 5% Lotion

Povidone-iodine 5% lotion acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It treats and prevents wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus protecting the affected area. This lotion is for external application only, used precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes its effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't hasten healing and may increase side effects.

Avoid eye contact; if it occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical advice. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if an allergic reaction develops, indicated by rash, lip, throat, or facial swelling, breathing or swallowing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea.
