I would search on betadine (povidone-iodine) as a prophylaxis. As far as I know it is not available as an ointment, but I know of some people who are looking into this.

Hello Medlibbers,
I need some help with a search. My patron is looking for the following - it seems simple enough but I have found exactly one article that is helpful.
I have a patron who is interested in nasal creams/ointments in the treatment of COVID. So far I have found very little. I have not followed in detail all of the recently treatments like some of you have.
have searched: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, LitCovid, medRxiv preprints, Google/Google Scholar.
Where else should I be searching? Databases, terms? All suggestions, ideas and help would be greatly appreciated. I am running out of ideas.
Thank-you,
Halyna
