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 Throat Spray should only be used if strictly indicated and its use should be kept to the absolute minimum.
