How Betadine G.2% Mint 100ML Works

Povidone iodine slowly releases free iodine, which kills bacteria, viruses and fungi by disrupting their proteins and cell membranes. This reduces microbial load in the mouth and throat and helps relieve infection-related symptoms.

Dosage & Directions

For gargling only. Dilute as directed on label (commonly 1:1 with warm water) or use undiluted if advised by doctor. Gargle for 30 seconds to 1 minute and spit out; do not swallow. Use 2-4 times daily or as advised, preferably after meals and at bedtime.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
