The Claim
Nitric oxide nasal spray (NONS) administered 5-6 times daily for 9 days accelerates the reduction of SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in nasal and throat swabs by a factor of 16.2 at days 2 and 4 compared to saline placebo in adults aged 18-70 with mild COVID-19 infection, with a treatment difference of -1.21 log10 RNA concentration (95% CI, -2.07 to -0.35) at day 2 and -1.21 (95% CI, -2.19 to -0.24) at day 4.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A nose spray with nitric oxide helps people with mild COVID-19 get rid of the virus faster. When used several times a day for over a week, it reduces the virus amount 16 times quicker than a placebo spray by the second and fourth days.
