GLYCOSEPTAL GARGLE 15ML

About

GLYCOSEPTAL GARGLE is an antiseptic solution formulated for oral and pharyngeal hygiene, providing symptomatic relief for minor irritations of the throat and mouth. Its active ingredients, often including compounds like chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine, exert antimicrobial effects by disrupting bacterial cell structures or inhibiting their metabolic processes. This action helps to reduce the microbial load in the oral cavity and pharynx, thereby assisting in the management and prevention of mild oral and throat infections.

The gargle is designed to offer a soothing effect on inflamed mucous membranes while actively targeting pathogens. Regular use, as prescribed, can contribute to improved oral health, fresher breath, and alleviation of discomfort associated with conditions such as sore throat, mild gingivitis, or mouth ulcers. It is intended for topical use within the mouth and throat and should not be ingested.
