New Delhi: The corona infection is widespread all over the world and everyone is eagerly waiting for the corona vaccine. But it seems that this wait is not going to end soon because many medicines including Remdesivir, which is considered to be the most effective in the treatment of serious patients of Corona, have not been successful in clinical trials. The World Health Organization (WHO) found in the preliminary results of the test that this drug has not proved effective in saving the lives of serious patients. Not only in India, in about 50 countries around the world, serious patients of Corona were being treated with this medicine. Even US President Donold Trump was injected with Remedisvir.
Many medicines proved useless
According to the World Health Organization, in addition to remadecivir, hydroxychloroquine, HIV-AIDS drugs lopinavir / retanavir and interferon were also not found to be effective. Even after treatment for 28 days, serious corona patients could not be saved from dying. These medicines did not show any special effect on the health of the patients being treated in the hospital. These drugs were still being used to treat patients.
Investigation of the effect of medicines
Till last 6 months, this research was done on 11,266 patients in more than 30 countries. According to the report, it was the world’s largest random trial, examining the effects of existing medicines in the treatment of Korana. An attempt was made to know how the treatment of different drugs is affecting mortality. How many people using the drug had to be put on ventilators, how many days were kept in ICU and whether the medicine could save their lives or not. However, these are preliminary results, they will be re-evaluated.
There was a silver lining
When people from all over the world were suffering from Corona, when they came to know that Remdesivir antiviral drug is proving effective in saving the lives of patients, a silver lining was raised. Initial investigations showed that this drug could cure the infected quickly. In some cases this also happened. After this, patients were allowed to treat this medicine in almost all countries. Due to the high demand, its black marketing was also started in many places.
Effective in many diseases
The drug remedisivir was also previously found to be effective against Ebola virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mars) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). This drug was being used on all patients.
World Health Organization Opinion
In June, hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir / Remdesivir were found to be ineffective, after which it was advised not to treat them. However, these drugs were being tested in more than 500 hospitals. All eyes are now on monoclonal antibodies. Results of this medicine are going to come in a few days. It is hoped that we will get some effective medicine.
Difficulty facing the world
No drug has so far proved effective on the corona virus. About 100 drugs have been used, but no drug has left any effect. In the past, patients were said to be cured with drugs like Remdesivir, Hydroxychloroquine, Dexamethasone. Some results were also found positive, after which governments around the world gave permission to give this medicine to serious patients. But if the incoming vaccine is not able to save the patients of Corona, then you can understand how many difficulties will be faced in the coming time.
