The drug manufactured in Japan has proven effective in fighting coronavirus, it was claimed by Chinese sources. Chinese doctors say a Japanese anti-viral drug has been effective in treating coronavirus patients. Favipiravir, also known as Avigan, was approved for use in 2014. This medicine is used to treat many ailments. This medicine is used to relieve a number of ailments related to foot injuries, including yellow fever. The same drug has yielded encouraging results in the treatment of 320 people in Wuhan and Shenzhen, China.
Zhang Xinmin, a Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology official, said at a press conference on Tuesday that the drug was clearly effective for the coronavirus. In Shenzhen, the drug was given to 35 coronavirus patients, 4 days later when they were tested, they came back negative. Chinese medical teams have been instructed to use this drug as a treatment for coronavirus. He recommended that the drug be included as soon as possible in the treatment of coronavirus. The Chinese pharmaceutical company has been ordered to manufacture the drug on a large scale, he said. It has also directed to ensure delivery.
Japan has a stock of about 2 million Avigan pills so far. While Japan’s Ministry of Health says that we gave the drug to 80 people, it did not affect the virus if the virus increased. He added that it is estimated that if the virus is more prevalent in the body, then this medicine may not be effective, while it may be harmful for pregnant women.
