Overview Walvidone 5% Solution

Povidone-iodine 5% solution acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. It eradicates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, thus preventing infection. Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't hasten healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances its efficacy. Possible side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Persistent side effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical help. Discontinue use immediately if an allergic reaction—such as rash, lip/throat/face swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea—occurs.
