Abstract

The purpose of this project is to reposition Breathox® salt particle inhaler - which is designed to clean the airways and relieve respiratory irritation by e.g. colds, hay fever, asthma and COPD - as a complementary treatment option for COVID-19 patients. The project will i.a. verify the basic assumptions that COVID-19 RNA is affected by antiviral immune response caused by increase in salt concentration, as seen with other DNA and RNA viruses, and that Breathox® has a virus-inhibiting effect on COVID-19 patients.
