Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic used to treat minor wounds and prevent infections. It works by disassociating iodine from the povidone complex, allowing iodine to penetrate microbial cells and kill them.

Povidone-iodine is classified as an antiseptic in the therapeutic class of antiseptics.

The antimicrobial action of povidone-iodine occurs after iodine disassociates from the complex. Once in the free form, iodine rapidly penetrates microbial cell membranes and interacts with proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids in the cytoplasm and cytoplasmic membrane. This interaction ultimately results in rapid cell death.
