GLYCOSEPTOL GARGLE 15ML

About

GLYCOSEPTOL GARGLE is an antiseptic solution designed for oral hygiene and the symptomatic relief of minor throat and mouth irritations. It typically contains active ingredients that possess antimicrobial properties, such as chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine, or cetylpyridinium chloride, which work by disrupting bacterial cell membranes or inhibiting microbial growth. The gargle helps to reduce the bacterial load in the oral cavity and pharynx, thereby aiding in the prevention and treatment of mild oral infections.

Its formulation is intended to provide a soothing effect on irritated mucous membranes while actively combating pathogens. Regular use, as directed, can contribute to overall oral health, freshen breath, and alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like sore throat, gingivitis, or mouth ulcers. It is generally for topical use within the mouth and throat and should not be swallowed.
