Why does it say ‘non-sterile solution’?
Certain topical OTC (Over-The-Counter) antiseptic products include “non-sterile” on their labeling. The term “nonsterile” on the product label means it was not sterilized during manufacturing. It does not mean that the product contains harmful microorganisms. The FDA requests that manufacturers package antiseptics indicated for preoperative or preinjection skin preparation in single-use containers. Since this is not a single-use container nor meant for preoperative or preinjection skin preparation, the package must be labeled ‘non-sterile’.
