2 mouthwashes disrupt the coronavirus in lab tests – Futurity: Research News
Listerine and a prescription mouthwash disrupt the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in laboratory settings, a new study shows.
Two types of mouthwash disrupt SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, preventing it from replicating in a human cell, a new study suggests.
The study in the journal Pathogens finds that, in a laboratory setting, Listerine and the prescription mouthwash Chlorhexidine disrupted the virus within seconds after researchers diluted it to concentrations that would mimic actual use.
Further studies are needed to test real-life efficacy in humans.
Researchers conducted the study in a lab using concentrations…
