POVIFRESH GARGLE Povidone iodine 2%

POVIFRESH GARGLE Povidone iodine 2%

POVIFRESH Gargle (Povidone-Iodine 2%) is an antiseptic mouth and throat gargle used mainly for killing germs and reducing infection risk in the oral cavity and throat.

Common uses:

• Sore throat relief – helps reduce bacteria and viruses causing throat infections.

• Mouth ulcers – disinfects and speeds healing.

• Gum infections (gingivitis) – reduces bacterial load.

• Post-dental procedures – prevents secondary infection after tooth extraction or oral surgery.

• Pre/post-operative oral hygiene – to lower risk of infection before or after surgery in the mouth/throat.

• General oral antiseptic – for maintaining oral hygiene during colds, flu, or after exposure to infection.

How it works:
Povidone-Iodine releases iodine slowly, which kills a wide range of pathogens — bacteria, viruses, fungi, and some protozoa — on contact.

Important notes:

• Usually diluted with water before gargling (follow label instructions).

• Not to be swallowed — gargle and spit out.

• Avoid use if allergic to iodine or with certain thyroid conditions unless advised by a doctor.

• Prolonged use should be under medical supervision.
