Proven Antiseptic Solutions Trusted Globally for Over 60 Years
BETADINE has a long history in antiseptic care. Its early products used povidone-iodine, an antiseptic active that combines iodine with povidone. Iodine has been used as an antiseptic for more than 150 years, while povidone-iodine was developed in the 1950s to make iodine water soluble, less irritating and less likely to stain than iodine alone.
Today, BETADINE offers familiar, practical formats for care at home. Because each product is different, always check the label for its approved use, directions and precautions.
Our Range: Wound & Sore Throat Care for New Zealand Households
Antiseptic Wound Care
BETADINE wound care products include topical solution, ointment and liquid spray formats containing povidone-iodine. Depending on the product, they are intended for minor cuts and abrasions, minor burns and minor skin infections, or the prevention of infection in minor wounds.
Sore Throat Care
The BETADINE sore throat range includes ready-to-use and concentrated gargles, as well as soothing lozenges. Selected gargles contain povidone-iodine, while BETADINE Sore Throat Lozenges contain different active ingredients.
Why Betadine Is Trusted Worldwide
For generations, people have turned to BETADINE for practical wound and sore-throat care. The range brings together established antiseptic expertise and familiar formats to help people choose the right product for their needs.
Povidone acts as a carrier that holds iodine and releases it gradually. The iodine component acts against microorganisms, supporting the role of relevant formulations in antiseptic care. The exact indication, concentration and directions vary by product, so consumers should not assume that all BETADINE products work in the same way.
Our website also offers straightforward information about wound care, sore throats and choosing between product formats. This information does not replace advice from a healthcare professional.
