Betadine Povidone-Iodine 1% Oral Gargle 60mL

Betadine (iNova / Mundipharma) Povidone-Iodine 1% Oral Antiseptic Gargle & Mouthwash 60 mL (Fast Germicidal Sore Throat Relief, Mouth Sores & Gum Defense Sold per bottle of 60 mL) is a clinically tested broad-spectrum antiseptic solution engineered to eliminate oral viruses, bacteria, and fungi in as early as 30 seconds.

• Packaging & Quantity: Sold per bottle of 60 mL (1 amber bottle with tamper-evident seal and graduated measuring cup inside an outer retail box). Each 1 mL delivers 10 mg of Povidone-Iodine (equivalent to 1 mg of available iodine).

• Rapid Broad-Spectrum Germicidal Action: Povidone-iodine releases free iodine that oxidizes essential microbial proteins and cellular structures, effectively killing 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that cause throat irritation.

• Does Not Permanently Stain Teeth: The clear iodine rinse clears easily upon spitting and mouth rinsing, leaving no lasting stains on tooth enamel or gums.

Targeted Clinical Indications:

• Fast, soothing relief of painful, scratchy, and irritated sore throat.

• Speeds healing of aphthous ulcers (canker sores / singaw), gingivitis, and bleeding gums.

• Essential post-extraction oral rinse and pre/post-dental procedure degerming.

• Neutralizes offensive breath odor caused by excessive oral bacterial buildup.

• Disinfecting soak for toothbrushes and removable dentures.

Directions for Use:

• For Sore Throat & Mouth Ulcers: Pour 15 mL (approx. 3 teaspoonfuls) undiluted into the cup. Swish briefly around the oral cavity, tilt the head back, and gargle deep in the throat for 30 seconds, then spit out completely. Repeat 2 to 4 times daily for up to 14 days, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• As Daily Protective Mouthwash: Use 15 mL undiluted, or dilute with an equal volume of warm water if sensitivity to taste occurs. Gargle for 30 seconds and spit out.

• Do not swallow the solution.

• Tip: Avoid food or drink for 15 to 30 minutes after gargling to prolong mucosal contact.

• Safety Precautions & Warnings: Not recommended for children under 3 to 6 years of age who cannot reliably spit out. Contraindicated in individuals with hypersensitivity to iodine, active hyperthyroidism or thyroid disorders, and patients taking concurrent lithium therapy. Discontinue use if mucosal irritation or hypersensitivity develops.

• Storage Guidance: Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C in a dry place protected from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly capped and out of reach of children.
