Dozens of clinical trials are launched by many doctors and researchers since this pandemic broke through. But, these multiple trials are not giving strong evidence to save a life from novel Corona Virus. Though, The WHO is launching multi country clinical trials to test four drug regimens as COVID-19 therapies;
remdesiver, chloroquine, a combination of two HIV drugs, and those same two HIV drugs along with the anti inflammatory interferon beta. The US is not currently involved in WHO trials.
Hundred of clinical trials are underway, and other groups are adopting the medications that the WHO selected.
Several Tests have the following results on the medications that WHO selected.
- Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine
The research of highly qualified researchers says that Hydroxychloroquine and related Chloroquine can cure Covid-19, as because the drug has been around for decades as an antimalarial treatment, scientists have experience with it.
In Thailand, Doctors said that they have seen improvements in Covid-19 patients by adopting the suggestions of WHO of using combination of two HIV drugs; Lopinavir and Ritonavir. These combinations were also used during SARS and MERS outbreaks, and it was useful.
Remdesivir was used for the treatment of Ebola, and the research also showed that this can also be used to block SARS and MERS. Research also showed that it could inhibit the novel Coronavirus in cells.
While tested in Clinical Trials, Favipiravir was effective in treating Covid-19 patients. Meanwhile, Japan is studying about this drus more closely. But, this drug doesnot work with MERS, and, MERS is similiar to novel Corona Virus.
