According to the medical journal Lancet, it is being tested in China how effective anti-HIV drugs are in the case of corona virus. World Health Organization Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan said that the final result will come in the next few days. Meanwhile, both HIV drugs in India have shown good effects on patients infected with Covid-19.

Medical experts in India say that it may take from one year to a year and a half to develop the corona virus (Covid-19) vaccine. Meanwhile, a good news has emerged during the treatment of patients infected with Coronavirus. There have been indications that Lopinavir and Ritonavir are used in the treatment of HIV, and are proven effective in patients with coronas. In view of this, the Narendra Modi government has directed the firms to increase the production of both medicines.

 

On Wednesday, the Union Health Ministry held a long meeting with pharmaceutical companies. In this, the Committee of Experts has asked Cipla, Mylan, Aurobindo and other companies to increase the stock of anti-HIV drugs. Lopinavir and ritonavir are anti-retroviral drugs. This prevents AChIV from entering healthy cells. India currently exports both these medicines to African countries.

Dr. Balram Bhargava, DG of the Indian Council of Medical Research, said both medicines were given with the consent of the couple. Its effect was good. After 14 days they are now almost healthy.

 

 The Drug Controller General of India has given permission to ICMR that anti-HIV drugs can be used to treat Covid-19. There is currently no known cure for the corona virus.
