FAQ: What is the difference between Savlon and Betadine?

Savlon uses chlorhexidine and cetrimide while Betadine uses povidone-iodine. Both are effective broad-spectrum antiseptics. Savlon is generally gentler on tissue and preferred for ongoing wound care. Betadine has stronger initial kill but may delay healing with prolonged use. Chlorhexidine (Savlon) has better residual antibacterial activity. Neither should be used in deep wounds - seek medical advice for serious wounds.

FAQ: Can Savlon cream be used on infected skin?

Savlon cream can help manage minor superficial skin infections and prevent infection in wounds. For skin that is significantly infected (spreading redness, swelling, pus, fever) - seek medical attention as systemic antibiotic treatment may be required. Our pharmacist can assess whether your wound requires medical review.
