GOVIDO 10% is a broad-spectrum antiseptic ointment formulated with Povidone-Iodine USP 10%, widely trusted for the prevention and treatment of minor wounds, cuts, burns, abrasions, and skin infections.

GOVIDO 10% is ideal for both first aid and post-surgical wound care, helping to reduce the risk of infection while supporting the natural healing process. Key Ingredient Povidone-Iodine 10% (equivalent to 1% available iodine): A powerful, iodine-based antiseptic that penetrates the skin and mucous membranes to eliminate harmful microorganisms. Povidone-Iodine is known for its broad antimicrobial spectrum, effectiveness, and minimal skin irritation compared to elemental iodine. Key Benefits Provides broad-spectrum antiseptic protection Kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other pathogens Helps prevent infection in minor cuts, wounds, burns, and ulcers Promotes clean wound healing and reduces scarring Ideal for pre-operative skin disinfection and post-operative wound care Non-staining, easy-to-apply formulation How Does It Work? GOVIDO 10% works by releasing free iodine slowly upon contact with the skin. This iodine interacts with microbial cell walls and enzymes, disrupting their structure and leading to rapid microbial death. The povidone base allows for sustained release of iodine, ensuring prolonged action and minimized irritation. Unlike alcohol-based antiseptics, it does not cause stinging and can be safely used on broken skin. Directions for Use Clean and dry the affected area gently before applying the ointment. Apply a thin layer of GOVIDO 10% directly to the wound or affected area 1–3 times daily, or as advised by your healthcare provider. The area may be covered with a sterile bandage if needed. Wash hands before and after application. For external use only — avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not use on large or deep wounds without medical supervision. Side Effects GOVIDO 10% is generally safe and well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience: Common Side Effects: Mild skin irritation Temporary redness or staining of the skin Rare Side Effects: Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling Iodine sensitivity or thyroid disturbances (with prolonged or large-area use) Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation persists, signs of infection worsen, or you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction.
