First
case of coronavirus was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in
China. And now today it has become a pandemic. The whole world is suffering from coronavirus
outbreak. lacks of people all over the
world are getting infected. Scientists
and researchers all over the world are searching for vaccine and anti doses.
However some pharmaceutical companies has been
successfully brought up some medications.
Patients with diabetes and heart disease with mild to moderate covid-19 symptoms are eligible in this trial. The study shows the production in viral load within 4 days and provides faster radiological and symptomatic improvement in the patients. The drug shows 88% clinical improvement in covid-19 patients.
Cipremi is approved for adult and paediatric patients particularly those who are on oxygen support. Cipremi, that is Remdesivir is used as lyphilised powder for injection of 100 mg. Cipla has not yet disclosed its pricing for the medication.
1. The very first medicine launched in the market
for coronavirus was the drug called arsenic album 30.
This drug work for immunity by boosting it up and
providing support to immune system and avoid infection. The drug consists of arsenic and zinc powder which is
harmful and poisonous for animals as well as plants. Many studies claims that this medicine cannot help for
curing the disease. However there is no such evidence.
2. Following the homeopathy, allopath came up with a medication called Remdesivir. Since drug act as fake RNA polymerase which is necessary for viral replication the virus can be destroyed.

The
drug was first used against ebola virus which projectors itself as fake
RNA polymerases for RNA viruses like ebola and stop the internal multiplication
of virus.
Coronavirus is RNA dependent virus and hence this drug may cure the patients. Ramdesivir has approved in Japan since 2014 for ebola and influenza. The same drug, in Japan is in clinical trial to prove its efficacy against covid-19.

3. Cipla
pharmaceutical is the only company who have approval for the production of
generic drugs from us FDA as well as DCGI.
Asian News
International (ANI) reported that drug has granted permission to be used for
restricted emergency use. On the other
side Cipla pharmaceuticals have also produced a generic drug of Remdesivir.
Cipremi is approved for adult and paediatric patients particularly those who are on oxygen support. Cipremi, that is Remdesivir is used as lyphilised powder for injection of 100 mg. Cipla has not yet disclosed its pricing for the medication.
DCGI

Uses a part of accelerated approval process is considering the utmost medical
need. Cipla pharmaceuticals will provide required training
on the use of drug, informed patient consent documents post marketing
surveillance as well as conduct of phase 4 clinical trial on Indian patients.
Mortality
rate in the clinical trial conducted by Cipla was 7.1% among give in Remdesivir

4. Whereas Hetero Pharma, and other pharmaceutical company has received approval for the
from the drug regulator to manufacture the generic.
Hetero Pharma launch generic version under the name of covifor and will be selling 100mg injectables. Each
vial may costing 5000 to 6000 per vial.As per ministry of dozing recommendation
patients are to be given 200mg injectables of Remdesivir on day 1 followed by
100 mg daily for 5 days.
ICMR
has approved Remdesivir under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use. Moreover these generic drugs may prove its efficacy.
The drug, Remdesivir is included in ministry of
health revised "clinical management protocols for covid-19" asa an
"investigational therapy".
5. But a
new therapy was put forth by Patanjali ayurved limited. It is named as corona kit the company is promoted by
yoga guru Ramdev. But several doctors
claims that it's just boosts up immunity and it can't be called as a drug
against covid-19.
The
Corona kit from Patanjali consists of swasri(breathing difficulty), Anu
Tel( used for nasal treatment) and coronil (mixture of giloy, tulsi and ashwagandha). Patanjali Ayurveda claims that the medicine can cure
covid-19 in 7 days. But the doctors adds
that medicine do not do anything with the virus just boost up immunity. But government has not given any approval to the
medication for marketing.
So
from the above discussion we can conclude or assume that we have found out the
cure for the pandemic, and Just immunity boosters will
not help. Remdesivir is a Ray of hope
against the pandemic. All pharmaceuticals
are trying their best to find out the solution in form of medicine and vaccines.
Let me know in the comment section what you
feel, which is a best medicine for covid-19.
