What is the shelf life of betadine after opening?

Betadine (povidone-iodine) solution typically has a shelf life of between 3 and 36 months after it has been opened, depending on the specific product and manufacturer recommendations. Always refer to the label or insert of your specific Betadine product for its specific expiration date after opening. It is important to properly store the solution in a cool, dry place, at room temperature (usually between 15-25 degrees Celsius / 59-77 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure efficacy and safety. If you notice any changes in the appearance, color or odor of the solution, or if it exceeds its expiration date, it is advisable to discard it and use a fresh preparation.
