[Q&A] "Corona inhibition effect" red medicine, how to use

Q. How to use povidone iodine solution?

[Cho Dong-chan/medical reporter (specialist): There are no guidelines for the general public yet, but if I summarize the method proposed by the research team and experts who support the povid iodine solution, I will give you 750 won and give 25cc 10% povidone iodine solution. I bought it. If you take out 5cc with a syringe and put it in a cup, fill it with water to make 100cc, it will be 0.5% solution.

I've made 200cc at once, but there are ways to rinse my mouth with this solution for 15 seconds, or soak a cotton swab in this solution and apply it deeply in the nose or spray it into the nose.

Povidone solution is already used by many people, so it is not likely to be dangerous because it is particularly low concentration, but those who are hypersensitive to povidone iodine solution should be careful.]

[Cho Dong-chan / Medical reporter (specialist): There is not enough research yet to say that everyone should make and use a low-concentration povidone-iodine solution.

However, if you have a sharp throat, cough, or sneeze by expanding the guidelines of the World Health Organization, it would not be bad to try it.

A small amount of virus in the nose or throat can die from it.

In particular, if you are going to the hospital because of symptoms, this is the guideline of the World Health Organization.]

[Dong-chan Jo/Medicine reporter (specialist): There are no products that gargle in Korea, but there is a spray product that sprays the nose.

However, experts' opinions differ depending on how often this should be used for COVID-19 suppression.

So I think I can tell you how often it is safe to use these things only after some follow-up research.]
