In this study, researchers tested the effectiveness of two herbal-based formulations, a pleiotropic herbal drink and a nasal drop, in preventing SARS-CoV2 infection. The formulations were tested on bronchial and colorectal cell lines as well as SKH-1 mouse models, including those with comorbidities such as diabetes. The results showed that a combination of the two formulations resulted in a rapid reduction in viral entry and reduced the viral load by 97-99% in infected mice within three days of treatment. Additionally, the combination also inhibited viral transmission among cage mates. The study suggests that this combined administration could potentially prevent SARS-CoV2 infection.
