About Bictofine Gargle 100 ml

Bictofine Gargle 100 ml belongs to the class of 'antiseptics and disinfectants' primarily used to treat common skin infections. It treats and prevents skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cut in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). Skin infection occurs when foreign microorganisms like fungus or bacteria invade the skin and affect the tissues.

Bictofine Gargle 100 ml contains Povidone Iodine. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, iodine can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidizes essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Bictofine Gargle 100 ml is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
