Betadine 10% cutaneous solution

Betadine is a world-renowned brand of antiseptic products containing povidone-iodine. Originally developed in the United States by Mundipharma/Purdue Pharma in the mid-20th century, it has become a staple in healthcare for wound care and surgical preparation. The manufacturing occurs in various global locations depending on the target market, with significant production sites in Europe, Asia, and North America. Ownership of the brand is complex and varies by region; in many European markets, including Italy (as seen by the Viatris branding on the bottle), the rights have been acquired or are managed by Viatris Inc. Viatris was formed through the merger of Mylan and Upjohn (a former Pfizer division) and is headquartered in the United States. In other regions, Mundipharma remains the primary owner.
