Clinical Trial Summary

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains multiple compounds which have antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. The role of VCO as an antivirus to treat COVID-19 requires further studies. A previous study has investigated the used of 30 ml of VCO to healthy volunteers for a month and reported no side effect. Here the investigators conduct a pilot trial to investigate the effect of VCO towards the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Indonesia.


Clinical Trial Description

The subjects of this pilot study are patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Central Public Hospital Dr. Sardjito, Teaching Hospital of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), and Yogyakarta COVID-19 referral hospitals (RSUD Wonosari and Sleman). The COVID-19 patients are recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, then divided randomly into two groups. Group I, the intervention group, consists of COVID-19 patients receiving standard therapy and 15 mL of VCO twice a day for 14 days. Group II, the control group, consists of COVID-19 patients receiving standard therapy and 15 mL of placebo twice a day for 14 days. Both groups are monitored for four weeks with a nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) swab test. ;
