Betadine Shampo 60Ml

Description:

Betadine Shampoo 7.5% is a medicated antiseptic shampoo containing povidone-iodine, designed for hygienic scalp and hair cleansing when there is a risk of microbial contamination. It is used as an external antiseptic wash to help reduce bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms on the scalp and hair. As a health and wellness wound-care–adjacent product, it supports infection control, scalp hygiene, and pre- or post-procedural cleansing under medical guidance. This product is classified as a medicine/antiseptic topical preparation for external use only.

Indications:

• Antiseptic cleansing of the scalp and hair where there is a risk of infection or microbial contamination.
• Adjunctive scalp hygiene in conditions where bacterial or fungal overgrowth may be present (e.g., seborrheic scalp with secondary infection), as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Pre- and post-procedural scalp cleansing to reduce microbial load, according to physician instructions.
• General antiseptic shampooing for individuals requiring povidone-iodine–based cleansing for medical reasons.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Povidone-Iodine – 7.5% w/v (available iodine concentration not specified in the provided data).
• Other excipients: Full ingredient list is not available in the provided information. Typical shampoo base components (surfactants, stabilizers, fragrance, preservatives) are present but exact ingredients and concentrations are not specified.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• For external use on scalp and hair only. Do not swallow and avoid contact with eyes, ears, and mucous membranes.
• Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with water.
• Apply a sufficient amount of Betadine Shampoo 7.5% to the scalp and hair, massaging gently to form a lather and ensure complete coverage.
• Leave in contact for a few minutes (typically 3–5 minutes) unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water until all shampoo is removed.
• Frequency of use: Use as directed by your physician or pharmacist. Do not use more often or for longer than recommended.
• If irritation or excessive dryness occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Clinical Benefits:

• Cleanses: Provides effective cleansing of scalp and hair while delivering antiseptic action.
• Broad-spectrum antiseptic: Povidone-iodine has a broad microbicidal spectrum, acting against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and some protozoa.
• Supports infection control: Helps reduce microbial load on the scalp, supporting infection prevention in at-risk situations.
• Microbicidal mechanism: Iodine released from povidone-iodine reacts with amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids in microbial cells, leading to cytoplasmic disintegration, enzyme denaturation, membrane and cell wall damage, and eventual microbial death.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For external use only. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to povidone-iodine, iodine, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with thyroid disorders (e.g., hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) or those receiving lithium therapy. Prolonged or extensive use may affect thyroid function.
• Do not use on large areas of damaged skin or for prolonged periods unless specifically directed by a doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing, especially if frequent or long-term use is anticipated.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have kidney disease, thyroid disease, or are taking medications that may interact with iodine.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease by itself; it is an antiseptic aid used as part of overall medical care.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion requires immediate medical attention.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if severe irritation, redness, burning, swelling, or rash occurs.

Side Effects:

• Possible local side effects include mild irritation, dryness, or redness of the scalp.
• Allergic reactions (contact dermatitis, itching, rash, swelling) may occur in sensitive individuals; discontinue use and consult a doctor if these appear.
• Very rarely, systemic absorption of iodine with extensive or prolonged use may affect thyroid function, especially in patients with pre-existing thyroid disease.
• Seek immediate medical attention if signs of severe allergic reaction occur, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
