RCT 200 hospitalized patients in Vietnam, showing faster recovery with an oral spray containing zinc, propolis, xylitol, ginger, and DMSO.
3 studies use direct respiratory tract administration1-3
Targeted administration to the respiratory tract provides treatment directly to the typical source of initial SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, and allows for rapid onset of action, higher local drug concentration, and reduced systemic side effects (early treatment may be more beneficial).
This study is excluded in meta analysis: many combined treatments which may significantly contribute to the effect seen.
Study covers propolis and zinc.

Therapeutic Efficacy of AFree Oral Spray on the Symptoms and Course of Moderate and Severe COVID-19 in the Field Hospital
Duong T Tran, Truong N Pham, Nhung H T Nguyen, Hau D Tran, Huy Q Hoang, Anh K Nguyen, B O Han, MD Ba X Hoang
In Vivo, doi:10.21873/invivo.13262
Background/Aim: A prospective randomized, openlabel, single-blinded clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of AFree on the symptoms and course of moderate and severe COVID-19 in the field hospital. Patients and Methods: Two hundred hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were enrolled. The patients were randomized into 100 patients in the interventional AFree group and 100 in the control group. The AFree group patients were treated with AFree oral spray in conjunction with the standard COVID-19 treatment protocol, while the control group of patients were treated with only standard care. Results: Patients of the AFree group demonstrated a remarkedly faster improvement in all COVID-19-related symptoms, resulting in a shorter time for complete recovery than the control group. More importantly, they showed a shorter time for complete viral clearance. Adding AFree to the standard of care protocol also significantly improved the restoration of taste and smell and reduced lung infiltration. Additionally, the patients in the AFree group also exhibited fewer adverse effects related to treatment. Conclusion: AFree oral spray is a simple-to-use, safe, and effective adjunctive treatment for moderate and severe COVID-19 cases. AFree oral spray was demonstrated to potentially be effective for COVID-19 prevention.
