New Delhi: Global fast-moving consumer goods company Unilever has made a big claim in the fight against coronavirus. The company says that its new mouthwash based on the new formula will eliminate the coronavirus 99.9 percent within 30 seconds of using it. Simply put, you can be safe from Covid-19 by using the company’s new mouthwash. The company is launching its new mouthwash in India next month. However, the company has also made it clear that this formulation is neither a cure for Covid-19 nor will it help in transmission.
Mouthwash has been shown to be effective in early lab tests
Unilever reported that the new mouthwash formula in the initial Lab Test of Micro back Laboratories on behalf of Unilever Research Lab in the US is eliminating the coronavirus present in the mouth and throat by 99.9 percent. The coronavirus is spread by saliva droplets or sneezing. This is followed by severe symptoms in some cases and asymptomatic symptoms in others, but the person is already infected, which can only be detected by a corona test. The company stated that if the virus load in the mouth is low, its spread will also be less. Research so far has shown that frequent hand washing, using sanitizers, applying masks as well as mouthwash can prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Hindustan Unilever will launch mouthwash in India
Unilever’s Head of Oral Care Research and Development, G. Roberts clarified that this mouthwash is neither a cure for Covid-19 nor will it help prevent it from spreading. However, based on the results of tests so far, we can say that our new mouthwash is effective against the coronavirus present in the mouth. He said that at the current level of the global epidemic, it was important for the company to share the test result of mouthwash based on its new formula with the world. So at the moment, we are just sharing the test results. He informed that the company will launch the mouthwash made on CPC Technology (Cetylpyridinium Chloride Technology) in India next month under Pepsodand Jermichek Mouth Rinse Liquid through Hindustan Unilever (HUL).
