Contains: Iodine
This is NOT Povidone, which must contain 9-12% iodine (the standard is 10%). The label on this says that it's only 7.5%, but that is unlikely because it is VERY weak and watery. My guess is that this is well less than 5%. It's a RIPOF

No more stink all day long. Makes your perfumes and body sprays last longer too. You won't regret it. Try it! Of course it's great for first aid too
Read More...I bought this product to do a treatment recommended by Dr. Becker, the holistic vet who does a column on Dr. Mercola's site. I have a little dog who has a problem with contact dermatitis secondary to allergies. After an initial two months of running to the vet for steroids and antibiotics, I said this has to change. Now I mix this with warm water nightly to the color of ice tea, dip him in it and towel dry. I also give him a fish oil product for animals and about 1/4 tsp of organic gelatin daily. With this regimen, he is problem free
Read More...Purchased to help dog's skin issues (as per Dr. Karen Becker). Dog had flea dermatitis and allergy. It took a month, but to relieve his skin issues I found 4 things helped: * Baths using povidone iodine (see Dr. Karen Becker's video about povidone iodine baths for pets) * Using cotton ball, applying povidone iodine (torso and digits) 1X daily * Applying witch hazel to irritated skin (torso and digits) @ least 1X daily * Applying (to torso area) DERMagic Skin Rescue Lotion 2X daily It took a month, but my dermatologically-challenged pekingese recovered from flea dermatitis w/o visit to vet and meds he/she would have prescribed for a gazillion bucks

Read More...Dynarex is yet another commercial formulation containing povidone iodine, also the active ingredient in the better known and marketed brand, Betadine. Dynarex is less expensive that Betadine in general; however, I have found it to be harder to lather. It seems to not contain sufficient soap to allow it to lather quickly, at least in the hard water in my town (Betadine brand lathers easily here). I'll assume that both Dynarex and Betadine are equally effective on the skin in eliminating harmful bacteria and fungi/yeasts
Read More...All in all, it is a good disinfectant and with the 16 oz bottle, when watching for the low in the fluctuating price, it can be a bargain. Dynarex sells two versions 1425, which is nominally 7.5 % solution of povidone-iodine (a scrub) and 1415, 10 % solution (a prep). For washing hands the 7.5 % is a bit more sudsy but certainly even more soap-like version with extra "inactive" ingredients would be welcome. The inactive stuff can be quite important. As the iodine contents go, keep in mind, the percentage is of the povidone-iodine complex, not iodine and the amount of iodine in povidone can be widely variable. It seems that assumption is there is 10 % of iodine. The only supplier that I found who lists the iodine contents lists is a Povidone/iodine 10/1, which actually would be 9.09 %. Still, iodine is very potent disinfectant, so the solutions, even if a bit less concentrated, are likely effective. Less concentrated, thou, means paying more for the active ingredient. In my sample of the 10 % prep I found 0.94 % iodine and in the 7.5 % scrub 0.645 % iodine, all done by thiosulfate titration
Read More...Betadine is betadine, IMHO. Good, works as expected. Worth getting any time one has topical skin problems. Very glad to have it in my house, for my stubborn skin
Read More...My dog used to have bad poultry allergies and she would break out in hives and scratch the scabs until she had bald spots. My breeder suggested I try this to wash her, instead of any dog shampoo formulas. This and a new diet saved my dog's skin. No more itching, no hives. This keeps her coat shiny
Read More...As a dog owner, with a dog who suffers from chronic skin infections and loss of hair, this product was very useful in helping my dog with her skin condition AND hair loss! My German Shepherd gets annual skin infections which makes her lose large amounts of hair. To prevent this I give her Lime baths weekly and use this scrub on areas of her skin that are inflamed or damaged. This product had her hair growing back and her skin looking healthier within the week. This a great news for me, due to the chronic condition at which my animal suffers. I had not been able to take pictures yet as she has gotten better but intend to update this review as soon as I see an opportunity to. Additionally, I let my neighbor use this for his Lab mix dog who was constantly biting and licking her pads, and losing hair because of it. He had the same results I did! Just follow the directions on the back and BE Careful; this product will stain
