The article provides a review of the literature on the assessment of the efficacy, safety and indications for the use of povidone iodine in modern clinical practice. The preservation of good sensitivity to the drug, despite its long-term use, as well as new opportunities associated with the effectiveness against biofilm forms of pathogens and viruses, in particular SARS-CoV-2, has been shown.
