How PVP K30 works

Povidone-iodine is a water-soluble complex that mediates a bactericidal or virucidal action following the gradual liberation of free iodine from the complex at the application site to react with the pathogen . Please refer to the drug entry for Povidone-iodine for the full mechanism of action of the complex.
