Frequently asked questions
- What does Povidone Iodine treat?
- Povidone Iodine (Povidone-Iodine) may be used to treat burns, leg ulcer, radiation injuries, staphylococcal infections, surgical wound infection, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label).

- How much does Povidone Iodine cost?
- Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.02 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
