Apparently, the new coronavirus will not have a cure as quickly as we think, do you agree? But why not, you may skeptically ask. For several reasons.
Every day, or rather, every minute, we have different news regarding everything that has been done to reduce the risk of Covid-19 contamination and its main consequences.
Even today, we disclose here that after approval from the Health Department, doctors at the Campina hospital will test the dewormer Annita as a possible alternative for treating the new coronavirus.
But, incredibly, medical skepticism says that this new medicine is worse than chloroquine, which has been promoted by Bolsonaro for at least the last 40 days.
But without further ado, check out more details about this news below.
Coronavirus and miracle cures
Nitazoxanide has been one of the most searched terms on Google, after Marcos Pontes' announcement this week.
Basically, it is an active ingredient in the dewormer Annita. It was presented this week as the “secret” medicine announced by the Minister of Science and Technology, Marcos Pontes.
It will be tested on Covid-19 patients, but a Chinese study showed it to be less effective and more toxic than other drugs in studies published in China.
According to Mônica da Folha, several scientists and virologists from Wuhan, where the pandemic began, tested seven drugs in the laboratory and compared the potency of each one. Chloroquine was considered the least toxic, and most effective, when administered in a higher dose.
Brazilian scientists were perplexed by Pontes' announcement that the name of the medicine would not be disclosed to avoid a rush to pharmacies and that not even patients would know what they would be taking in the tests.
Chloroquine has already been tested in China, it doesn't work!
There is no longer any doubt about this. Several scientists and virologists from Wuhan, where the pandemic began, tested seven drugs in the laboratory and compared the potency of each one. Chloroquine was found to be the least toxic, and most effective when administered in a higher dose.
