How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Betadine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

A placebo-controlled study in 38 normal volunteers yielded data for 36 subjects who showed a mean log10 reduction of 3.05 log10 units in total aerobes at 10 minutes following prepping the skin with BETADINE* 5% Sterile Ophthalmic Prep Solution compared with reduction of 1.58 log10 units after prepping with vehicle free of the iodine complex.

This placebo-controlled study indicates a mean log10 reduction by the iodine complex compared with the control solution of 1.47 log10 units at 10 minutes and 1.79 log10 units at 45 minutes.
