How Betadine Sore Throat Spray Provides Relief

Active Ingredient and Mode of Action

The active ingredient in Betadine Sore Throat Spray is povidone-iodine (0.45% w/v). Povidone-iodine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that works by releasing iodine, which destroys a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This action helps to reduce the infection and alleviate the symptoms of a sore throat.

Targeted Relief

The spray format allows for direct application to the affected area. This targeted approach ensures that the medication is delivered precisely where it's needed, maximizing its effectiveness and providing rapid relief from pain and irritation. Using a spray ensures even distribution.

For adults and children 6 years and older, spray 2-3 times directly into the throat. Repeat every 2-4 hours as needed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Consult a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist or worsen.

Application Tips

• Point the spray nozzle towards the back of the throat.
• Depress the pump firmly for each spray.
• Avoid swallowing the spray immediately after application for optimal effectiveness.
