Covid-19: SaNOtize files for emergency approval in UK, Canada for its nasal spray treatment
India TodaySaNOtize, a Canada-based pharmaceutical firm, has sought emergency approval from the United Kingdom and Canada for the use of its nitric oxide nasal spray. The company claims that the nasal spray can be used as an effective treatment for Covid-19 as it kills 99.9 per cent of the virus. The trial in the UK has shown that it dramatically reduces the viral load by 95 per cent after 24 hours and after 48 hours 99.9 per cent of the virus is gone.” The company representative said that the nasal spray has an immediate impact and it should help people to deal with their symptoms and get better much more quickly. As per the company, the nasal spray works by killing 99.9 per cent of the virus in the upper airways, preventing it from incubating and spreading to the lungs and has no side effects.
