No Medication Has Been Confirmed Effective And Licenced For COVID-19, Says PTF Coordinator
The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu, has said no medication has been licenced for treating COVID-19 patients in the country.Sunrise DailyThe PTF coordinator, who was debunking reports that some drugs and local herbs are available as cure for COVID-19, insisted that no medication has been confirmed for the disease.
He, however, noted that the United States of America had given temporal approval for the use of an anti-viral drug called Remdesivir for a clinical trial in the quest to find a cure for the pandemic. “Yes, chloroquine has been touted as the drug that might be quite useful in dealing with COVID-19, but nothing has been confirmed yet. In Nigeria, doctors are also still trying to figure out how to treat patients,” Dr Ehanire had said during one of the PTF briefings.
