A member asked:
Is really chlorahexidine effective at killing the covid-19 virus? if so, why can't everyone just take it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlorahexidine : Studies are underway to see if oral rinses with chlorhexidine gluconate combined with Povidone iodine in the nares can help to decrease COVID transmission in healthcare workers who are also wearing PPE. To date, Chlorhexidine when tested in labs showed it was only weakly active against a coronavirus. I don't think there is any strong evidence to use this as an oral rinse. Please DON'T swallow it
