Teva Jox antiseptic oral cavity spray 30 ml
The main active substance of Jox spray is povidone iodide. In contact with skin and mucous membranes, it releases iodine which destroys microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, some viruses) which cause various illnesses. Therefore, Jox is suitable for disinfecting the oral cavity and pharyngeal region. Jox also contains allantoin, which facilitates the healing of tissues damaged by inflammation. Jox may be used to treat numerous oral and pharyngeal infections, such as sore throat, mouth ulcers and gingivitis.
Jox is used to ensure oral hygiene in the case of dental and oral surgery (before, during and after surgery). It is also used as supportive treatment to concomitant antibiotic treatment of streptococcal tonsillitis.
The suitability of Jox for treating these conditions is determined by your
doctor. Jox may be used in children starting from the age of 8, as well as in adolescents and adults. Children aged 8–12 may use Jox only on the recommendation of a doctor.
How to use Jox
Usually administered 2–4 times a day or more frequently, if necessary (every 4 hours). Spray up to 3 times in both sides or directly in the affected area, but no more than 6 times per day. The interval between two administration times should be at least 4 hours.
Do not breathe in or swallow the sprayed solution!
