Betadine Gargle Mint is also known as an iodophor, meaning that povidone is a carrier of iodine. Iodine kills the microbes as it acts as the active molecule. Once released from the complex, the free iodine penetrates into the cell walls of the microorganisms and inhibits the synthesis and structures of proteins and nucleic acids.

In-vitro studies have also suggested that iodine decreases the inflammation caused by the pathogens and host cells.
