The mouth rinse can kill the coronavirus in 30 seconds after being exposed to it in a laboratory, concluded a scientific study
CPC-based mouthwashes are effective in reducing Covid's viral load
The Cardiff University report said mouthwashes containing at least 0.07 percent cetypiriidinium chloride (CPC) showed "promising signs" of combating the virus.
Dr Nick Claydon, an expert on periodontology said: "If these positive results are reflected in the Cardiff University clinical trial, CPC-based mouthwashes such as Dentyl used in the in vitro study can become an important addition to people's routine, along with hand washing, physical distancing and wearing masks, now and in the future. "
The latest test was performed by scientists in the university's laboratory and mimicked the conditions of a person's naso/ oropharynx passage using oral rinse marks, including Dentyl.
