Overview Bictofine 2% Gargle

OroCleanse 2% gargle solution provides antiseptic and disinfectant action for oral hygiene. This mouthwash combats infection-causing microorganisms, soothing dryness and throat irritation. Follow your physician's instructions precisely regarding dosage and treatment duration; avoid swallowing the solution. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement.
