Povidone iodine is a topical antiseptic and disinfectant compound. It is a complex of iodine and povidone, a water-soluble polymer. Povidone iodine is widely utilized as an antiseptic and disinfectant in various settings. It works by releasing iodine, which has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, effectively killing or inhibiting the growth of various bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is recognized for its safety profile as it is neither toxic, irritating, nor sensitizing, which contributes to its widespread use in environments where sanitation is paramount.
