- Composition: A highly water-soluble formulation of elemental iodine and potassium iodide (I₂KI). The standard 5% strength consists of roughly 50 mg of elemental iodine and 100 mg of potassium iodide per milliliter.
- Appearance & Physical Properties: A deep, transparent reddish-brown liquid. Unlike alcohol-based iodine tinctures, Lugol's does not cause the same stinging or hardening of tissues on open wounds, making it gentler for animals.
- Stability: It must be stored in amber glass or dark plastic bottles to prevent light degradation, and should not be used in copper or galvanized watering systems to avoid corrosion.
