1/N "... 0.5% povidone iodine (PVP-I) #mouthrinse/gargle for 30 s can reduce #SARSCoV2 virus infectivity to below detectable levels. PVP-I can even interrupt SARS-CoV-2 attachment to #oral & nasopharyngeal tissues & lower the viral particles in the saliva & respiratory droplets."
3/N "[... we propose immediate use of PVP-I in healthcare workers & their patients as described to minimise risk of spread of disease as an addition to currently recommended PPE used during management of #COVID19 patients.]"

#Chlorhexidine - a potential anti-#SARSCoV2 drug.

[1] New drug discovery is a long, costly, and rigorous scientific process.

[2] A more effective approach is to search from existing drug databases.

3] The study found that many existing drugs might be potentially potent medications against SARS-CoV-2. (SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors)

[4] The study used validated machine learning models to screen 1553 drugs that are FDA-approved.

SARS-COV-2 is a weak virus inactivated by many disinfectants/ mouthwashes. Challenge is not 'virus inactivation'. That's easy. Challenge is how long will salivary viral loads remain low after mouth rinsing. It needs a long acting mouthwash with persistent action #COVID19 (1/n)
.To minimize #COVID19 spread that happens by coughing, talking etc you need to keep the salivary viral loads low for sufficient time. Only those mouthwashes with strong intraoral attachment mechanisms & persistent action in saliva can do it. This property is "SUBSTANTIVITY" (2/n)
.Not all mouthwashes have substantivity. A mouthwash may easily kill #SARSCoV2 when tested outside the mouth. But most critical question is whether it will have any long acting effect "inside the mouth". Mouthwashes with no substantivity will not be able to do so. #COVID19 (3/n)
