Abstract
Dear editor, The role of the oral cavity in the genesis, progression, and dissemination of COVID-19 has been revealed by breakthroughs in SARS-CoV-2 research [1]. As a result, in 2020, our research group presented a recommendation for PHTALOX mouthwash for reducing COVID-19 infection and progression [2]. On this occasion, we revealed the first clinical findings in patients with COVID-19who utilized PHTALOX, an antiviral phthalocyanine derivative (APD), in a gargle/rinse mouthwash protocol [3]. We updated the information with new insights on the usage of the
