Dosage and administration.

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Betadine is always used in concentrated, undiluted form.

Pre-operative hand disinfection: wash hands and forearms under warm running water. Apply 5 ml of Betadine to the palm using the dispenser and spread evenly over hands and forearms. If necessary, use an additional amount of warm water to form a thin lather and continue rubbing for 2.5 minutes. You can also use a brush, especially for cleaning nails. Then rinse hands and forearms gently under warm running tap water. Repeat this procedure once more, then rinse hands and forearms with distilled water and dry with sterilized towels.

Hygienic hand disinfection: wash hands and forearms under warm running tap water, then apply 5 ml of Betadine to the palm and spread evenly over both hands and forearms. If necessary, use an additional amount of water to form a thin lather and continue rubbing gently for 1 minute. Afterwards, gently rinse hands and forearms under warm running tap water.

Pre-operative skin disinfection: Wash the skin surface with water. Apply Betadine (1 ml for approximately 20 cm²) and rub the surface until a golden-yellow lather forms (add an additional amount of water if necessary). Then rinse with water.
