Betadine Germicide Gargle 2% Mint is taken orally. 

Betadine Germicide Gargle 2% Mint contains the following component:

• Povidone Iodine (2 % w/v): Povidone-iodine works by slowly releasing free iodine. This iodine penetrates the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. The released iodine disrupts protein synthesis within these cells. This process eventually leads to their death, thus eliminating the infection. The slow-release formulation ensures that the antimicrobial action of povidone-iodine is prolonged. This reduces your risk of reinfection by maintaining an antiseptic environment over a longer period.
