FDA deputy secretary-general Dr Surachoke Tangwiwat said the Besuto Qlears nasal spray was registered as medical equipment for the alleviation of nasal congestion but there were statements through media that natural extract in its content could kill COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). ). Actually, the properties were found only from initial tests in laboratories and the product had yet to pass human trial to confirm its antiviral effects.

ChrisY1 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I imagine most of the junk advertised, especially on YouTube, is never tested for what supposed healing/remedies the product claims Chicken Essence however, must be fantastic 'cos even "super stars" advertise it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 just a week ago the PM praised the producer for world's first anti-covid spray and thus helping to launch their commercial campaign. He endorsed all those claims from an advert. It's available online and some few selected shops, but not in pharmacies yet. It's not much different from camilosan mouth spray, german made herbal remedy for throat and nasal infection, which is sold in every thai pharmacy for a fraction of price of that novelty. Cetylpyridinium chloride in form of cepacol original, which might work for covid, is not available in thailand from the beginning of this year. I have asked pharmacists why it's not sold anymore, but they didn't have a sensible answer. That is very strange development, as this medicine is still available worldwide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaccha Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I'm using the Canadian-Israeli VirX, available in Boots and on Lazada, designed specifically against Covid's vulnerabilities. There is logic to its claims of how it works, but the academic papers are far from convincing so far. But with little else to choose from, I spray it up my nose prior to high-contact events. Anecdotally, I've now been in rooms on numerous occasions, for several hours, with people who later found they had COVID, and I've not yet ever had COVID (in as much as I've never had symptoms and never come out positive in weekly ATK tests). But who knows if it works... It is wearisome but given the failures to stop cold infections not entirely surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
