Bett Solution 500 ml is used to treat common skin infections. It treats and prevents skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). Skin infection occurs when foreign microorganisms like fungi or bacteria invade the skin and affect the tissues.

Bett Solution 500 ml contains Povidone Iodine. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, iodine can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidize essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Bett Solution 500 ml is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

Bett Solution 500 ml is for external use only. Bett Solution 500 ml may cause common side effects like red or inflamed skin, peeling skin, dry skin, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist longer, please seek medical help.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to iodine or povidone. Let your doctor know if you have thyroid diseases, liver, and kidney problems before starting Bett Solution 500 ml. Please tell your doctor if you are undergoing any lithium therapy or radioactive iodine treatment. Do not use Bett Solution 500 ml before or after radioiodine scintigraphy or radioiodine treatment of thyroid carcinoma.

Skin infection: A skin infection can occur when the skin is broken, cut or wounded. This skin infection allows pathogenic microorganisms to enter and invade the tissues surrounding the wound. It can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites. Symptoms include redness, pain, tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching. It can be treated using topical antibiotics. Sometimes, for a severe infection, an oral antibiotic may be required.
