Povidone Iodine (2% w/v)
Active composition
Povidone Iodine releases iodine, which disrupts microbial protein and nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death.
Medical applications
Gorget 2% Gargle is an antiseptic oral solution containing 2% w/v povidone iodine, formulated for effective management of oral and pharyngeal infections. Povidone iodine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent known for its rapid bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal, and sporicidal properties. This gargle is indicated for the prevention and treatment of infections in the oral cavity and throat, including pharyngitis, tonsillitis, gingivitis, and stomatitis. Gorget 2% Gargle acts by releasing free iodine, which penetrates microbial cell walls, leading to disruption of protein and nucleic acid structure and function, thereby eliminating pathogens. The solution is intended for topical use only and should be diluted as per prescribing information before gargling to ensure optimal efficacy and minimize mucosal irritation. It is generally well tolerated; however, hypersensitivity to iodine or any component of the formulation contraindicates its use. Caution is advised in patients with thyroid disorders or iodine sensitivity. Regular use as directed can aid in reducing microbial load, promoting oral hygiene, and supporting adjunctive therapy in infection control. Gorget 2% Gargle should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
