Nicosan is a Nigerian manufactured drug at Sheda, Gwagwalada in Abuja. It ought to be readily available for nigerians, but for some reasons, production is hampered. We hope that very soon production will start in earnest. For full effectiveness patient must take the required dosage regularly.

If u are in Abuja, Nicosan is available in some pharmacies in Gwagwalada, Mararaba and in the town, but is quite expensive, ranges from N6,000 to N7,500 depending on whether it is for child or adult.

@blackhope, its not mere hype, nicosan is actually effective. I've once been with Xechem, the company producing nicosan, b4 d launching, during the period of NAFDAC approval. From real life testimonies pple have commended d effectiveness of d herbal drug, at least it reduces crisis 2 d barest minimum.

But my concern now is d availablity after d closedown of d factory, i do hope dat something will be done fast 2 make d drug available again, cos it is truly a life saver 4 scd patients.
