A preliminary laboratory based research conducted by Dr HSJ Institute of Dental Sciences, Panjab University in collaboration with CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) revealed that one of the most routinely used mouth rinses, Chlorhexidine, has proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2. The study, titled ‘Chlorhexidine: An effective anti-Covid mouth rinse’ was supported by Dr Reddy’s Laboratories and Design Innovation Centre, Panjab University.
Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 virus colonises in the oral and nasal cavities. Mouth rinses can be an effective way to reduce the colonisation and possibly reduce the transmission of infection. The public at large has become very conscious about oral hygiene in these COVID times so as to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Chlorhexidine mouthwash kills 99.9% of Covid-19 virus in 30 seconds, finds study
