It says on my container- Warning- for external use only.  I have the  EQUATE 
-Wal-mart brand.   Lugol's is primarily a Potassium iodide  solution.       
Povidone iodine solution  contains Citric acid,disodium, 
phosphate,glycerin,nonoxynol-9,sodium  hydroxide, and purified water. I also 
have potassium iodide in 
capsule form  that I am taking. I would not take the Povidone internally, 
myself.   Ed.
