Wetadine 2 Germicide Gargle contains Povidone Iodine 2% w/v, a broad-spectrum antiseptic agent effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. It is indicated for the prevention and treatment of infections in the oral cavity and pharynx, including gingivitis, stomatitis, and pharyngitis. The active ingredient, Povidone Iodine, releases free iodine which rapidly penetrates microbial cell walls, leading to protein denaturation and cell death. Wetadine 2 Germicide Gargle is intended for topical use as a mouthwash and gargle, providing a potent antimicrobial effect without systemic absorption. It is particularly useful in preoperative oral cleansing and in managing minor oral infections. The product should be used as directed, typically diluted with water before gargling to minimize mucosal irritation. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to iodine or any component of the formulation, thyroid disorders, and pregnancy or lactation unless advised by a healthcare professional. Adverse effects are rare but may include local irritation or allergic reactions. Wetadine 2 Germicide Gargle should not be swallowed. Proper oral hygiene practices should be maintained alongside its use. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.
