Cardiff University researchers found that mouthwash emanating from the mouth contained 0.07% Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC), which showed "promising signs" of reducing COVID-19.
An experimental study has now concluded that the mouthwash exhibited virgin properties that could kill the deadly coronavirus. Researchers say that mouthwash can reduce the oral "viral load" of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 in people suffering from the disease. The initial result follows from a clinical trial whether the patient can reduce COVID-19 levels in saliva using over-the-counter mouthwash.
A WION report says, Cardiff University researchers found that mouthwash emanating from the mouth contained 0.07% Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC), which showed "promising signs" of reducing COVID-19.
Dentyl will be the only UK mouthwash brand used in the trial, and the findings will be published in early 2021.
