Brief Summary
|
This aims of this study is to validate the antivirus
effectiveness of Ivermectin as prophylaxis in combating COVID 19 pandemics.
At present, there are no specific treatments for
COVID-19. Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have
broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative
virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero-hSLAM cells 2 hours post
infection with SARSCoV-2 able to affect about 5000-fold reduction in viral RNA
at 48 h. Ivermectin is a CDSCO approved drug. |
