povidone-iodine (PVP-I) a complex produced by reacting iodine with the polymer povidone; it slowly releases iodine and is used as a topical antiinfective agent.
Povidone has the molecular formula of (C6H9NO)n. Povidone formulations are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to dissolve in both water and oil solvents. Povidoneâs most common use is in the topical povidone-iodine solution (Aerodine, Betadine), where iodine is released as an antiseptic.
