Nasal Spray Shows Promise as Potential COVID-19 Preventative Measure
Berlin, Germany – A nasal spray containing azelastine, commonly used to treat allergies, is being investigated as a potential new approach to preventing COVID-19 infection. Initial research suggests the spray may block SARS-CoV-2 virus entry into cells,offering a novel preventative strategy alongside existing vaccines and boosters. The product is currently available for purchase on Amazon.de for 169,00 EUR.
The potential of azelastine as a COVID-19 preventative stems from its ability to inhibit the TMPRSS2 enzyme,which the virus uses to enter human cells. This revelation, highlighted by IT BOLTWISE, could offer an additional layer of protection, particularly as new variants emerge and immunity from vaccines wanes. While vaccines remain the primary defense against severe illness,a readily available nasal spray could significantly reduce transmission rates and lessen the burden on healthcare systems.
The research, utilizing AI-generated imagery to illustrate the concept, indicates that azelastine nasal spray may disrupt the initial stages of infection.IT BOLTWISE encourages readers to report any inaccuracies or misinformation regarding this developing story to DE-Info[at]it-boltwise.de, referencing the article headline: “Azelastin-nasal spray: a new approach to COVID-19 prevention.”
