[edit] Betadine?

From the article: "Tincture of iodine is recently available as a solution of complex of iodine with polyvinylpyrrolidone. This mixture is known under trade name Betadine."

• A Tincture by definition is an alcoholic application. Betadine contains no alcohol and is not a tincture - it's just a solution of PVPI.

• 'recently available'? It's been around since the mid-60s. See the Purdue website.

I'll work on this when I have time. Maybe it would be best to link to Betadine in a 'see also' section so that the information is not completely removed from this article.
