Wokadine Sore Thro 2% Gargle

Wokadine Sore Thro 2% Gargle is used for relief of sore throat and throat infections; symptomatic. Prescription required.

Relief of sore throat and throat infections; symptomatic treatment of pharyngitis/tonsillitis; oral/throat antisepsis to reduce germs causing throat irritation and bad breath.

Povidone-iodine releases free iodine which rapidly kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi. It reduces microbial load in the throat, helping relieve soreness and inflammation associated with infection.

For gargling: Use as directed on the label/doctor. Typically gargle (and spit out) an undiluted measured quantity or dilute with warm water if advised. Gargle for 30–60 seconds and repeat 2–4 times daily. Do not swallow; avoid eating/drinking for ~30 minutes after use for best effect.

Throat irritation or burning, unpleasant taste, nausea (if swallowed), mouth/throat dryness, allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling), temporary staining
