(2020) provide some preliminary findings on the potential use of povidone-iodine for reducing oropharyngeal viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The use of RT-PCR as the tool to assess viral load nevertheless has some potential limitations. The use of RT-PCR as the tool to assess viral load nevertheless has some potential limitations. While povidone-iodine may be the main ingredient in the specific mouthwash preparation, there are often a number of unlisted ingredients (e.g., alcohol) which can potentially provide both antisepsis and RT-PCR inhibition. As another form of control, however, it would be of relevance to see what the lavage properties of gargling in itself have for reducing viral load in those samples assessed.
