Definition: It’s a topical antiseptic solution made with elemental iodine dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water. Often also contains iodide salts (potassium or sodium iodide) which help increase iodine solubility.
Typical Strength: Usually around 2 % iodine (w/v) in many commercially available tinctures. Some “strong” tinctures may have higher concentration.
Appearance & Smell: Dark brown (because iodine is colored), strong antiseptic smell. The alcohol component gives a burning feel/sting when applied.
Antiseptic / Wound Care: The main use is disinfecting minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and preventing infection. It kills bacteria, some viruses, fungi on skin surfaces.
Skin Cleansing Before Procedures: Used to cleanse skin before injections, minor surgical procedures.
First Aid: A staple in first‑aid kits for treating minor injuries.
Disinfecting Surfaces / Tools: Sometimes used to disinfect equipment or surfaces (though there are specialized disinfectants for that).
Emergency Uses: In some cases, diluted tincture of iodine has been used to purify drinking water in emergencies (though this is not ideal, has limitations)
