Overview Afrid 2% Gargle

Oral antiseptic Afrid 2% solution combats oral infections by eliminating harmful bacteria. This mouthwash also soothes throat discomfort and dryness. Follow your physician's instructions precisely regarding dosage and treatment duration; avoid swallowing. Complete the prescribed course of treatment, even with symptom improvement. Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking for at least half an hour post-application. Prolonged use beyond the recommended period is discouraged; consult your doctor if your condition persists after 2–4 weeks. For palatability, dilute an equal volume of warm water into the prescribed amount. Gently swish the diluted solution for a brief period before expectorating. A 30-second rinse effectively targets oral and pharyngeal pathogens. Repeat every 2–4 hours, or as advised by your dentist. Generally well-tolerated, significant side effects are uncommon.
