WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES
BETADINE® Antiseptic Spray is a topical first-aid antiseptic containing 5% povidone-iodine, designed to cleanse minor wounds and help prevent infection.
Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic ingredient that releases iodine, which acts against a broad range of microorganisms.
When applied as directed, BETADINE® helps kill germs on the skin and reduces the risk of infection associated with minor cuts, scrapes and abrasions.
Unlike topical antibiotic products, BETADINE® uses an antiseptic rather than an antibiotic.
The formula is also described as free from alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, making it a convenient option for routine minor wound care.
Its spray format allows the antiseptic to be applied directly to the affected area without requiring a separate ointment application.

How Povidone-Iodine Works
Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic complex that releases iodine when applied to the skin.
The released iodine acts against a broad range of microorganisms, helping reduce germs on the wound surface.
This antimicrobial action helps prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes and superficial abrasions.
BETADINE® is an antiseptic, not an antibiotic.
NON-MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS
The complete non-medicinal ingredient list was not supplied.

- Antibiotic-free
Always refer to the current product packaging for the complete and most up-to-date ingredient information.
ANTISEPTIC PROTECTION FOR MINOR WOUNDS
Minor cuts and scrapes can damage the skin’s protective barrier, allowing microorganisms to enter the affected area.
Proper first-aid care helps reduce the risk of infection.
BETADINE® Antiseptic Spray is designed to help:
- Cleanse minor wounds
- Kill surface germs
- Reduce the risk of infection
- Support appropriate first-aid wound care
The product is intended for minor injuries and does not replace medical treatment for serious or infected wounds.
5% POVIDONE-IODINE FORMULA
BETADINE® Antiseptic Spray contains 5% povidone-iodine, a widely used topical antiseptic ingredient.
Povidone-iodine provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is commonly used in first-aid and healthcare settings.
The formula helps reduce microorganisms on the skin surface when applied according to directions.
It should not be used as a treatment for deep infections or serious wounds without medical supervision.
ALCOHOL-FREE & ANTIBIOTIC-FREE
BETADINE® Antiseptic Spray is formulated without:
- Alcohol
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Antibiotics
The manufacturer describes the formula as gentle and designed to avoid excessive skin dryness.
However, povidone-iodine can still cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
Discontinue use if irritation develops.
WHY USE AN ANTISEPTIC FOR MINOR WOUNDS?
Cleaning a minor wound is an important first step in first-aid care.
Rinsing with clean running water helps remove dirt, debris and some microorganisms.
An antiseptic such as BETADINE® provides additional antimicrobial action by killing susceptible germs on the skin and wound surface.
Using an antiseptic may help reduce the risk of infection when appropriate for the wound.
Clean running water remains an important part of initial wound cleansing and should not be considered ineffective simply because an antiseptic is available.
WHY IS BETADINE® BROWN?
BETADINE® products have a characteristic golden-brown colour because of their active ingredient, povidone-iodine.
The colour can help make the area of application visible.
According to the manufacturer, BETADINE® generally does not permanently stain skin, fingernails or hair.
Removing Stains From Fabrics
For natural fibres, stains can often be removed with soap and water.
For synthetic fabrics, a suitable stain remover may be needed.
Important: Immediately clean spills from plastic flooring to reduce the risk of staining.
DIRECTIONS
For adults and children aged 2 years and older.
