A Classic Antiseptic in a Kit-Sized Bottle
Iodine tincture has held a place in first aid for generations as a skin antiseptic for minor wounds. This USP tincture pairs 2 percent iodine with sodium iodide in a 47 percent alcohol solution. Application follows cleaning of the affected area, one to three times daily in a small amount. The tincture stains skin and clothing, a trade-off the label states plainly. The 1 oz (30 mL) bottle size suits single-station stocking, where a large antiseptic bottle would expire before it empties.
