Small study analyzing the impact of PVP-I mouthwash on the salivary viral load of SARS‐CoV‐2 in 4 patients with COVID‐19. In 2 of the 4 patients (those with a higher initial viral load), PVP‐I resulted in a significant drop in viral load, which remained after 3 hours.

Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage. We do not provide medical advice. Before taking any medication, consult a qualified physician who can provide personalized advice and details of risks and benefits based on your medical history and situation.
