Covid-19: Nigeria Govt Finally Reveals Drug Used For Treating COVID-19 Patients by EtteP(m): 5:02pm On May 05, 2020
The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, has revealed the drug used in treating COVID-19 patients in Nigeria.

Ehanire during a press briefing on Tuesday said Nigeria has started using Remdesivir.

Remdesivir is an antiretroviral drug, in managing COVID-19 patients.

“We have been using that (Remdesivir); we have tried that in Lagos too,” he said.


“So, we have tried the antiretroviral drug to see what effect it has.”

He added that Nigeria has moved from disease importation to community spread.

Recall that the US had approved emergency use of Remdesivir, for treatment of the disease.

The US National Institute of Health had said the drug proved effective against the new coronavirus disease.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has so far recorded 2802 cases while 93 persons have died from the coronavirus infection.

Why not try our locally made fever medication. One of our major problems in solving some issues like this is waiting for the approval from the western world. Unfortunately, some of us have better solutions than those in the western world. But they will never allow any of us to take the glory.
