If the patient is pregnant or breast-feeding, thinks that she may be pregnant or is planning to have a baby, advise the patient to ask the doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Povidone Iodine passes into the placenta and is secreted in breast milk. Povidone Iodine use should be avoided unless the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the foetus and neonate or if a safer alternative is unavailable. During pregnancy and lactation, BETADINE Gargle and Mouth Wash should only be used under medical supervision.
