Ms Adeyeye said researchers in France, U.S. have used the drug for clinical trial treatment of COVID-19 and they reported effectiveness of the drug.

Explaining the events that led to this decision, she said, “In a very recent publication, chloroquine was reported in a press briefing by the State Council of China, indicating that chloroquine phosphate had demonstrated marked efficacy and acceptable safety in treating COVID-19 associated pneumonia in a multi-center clinical trials conducted in China.

“The investigators reported that chloroquine phosphate is superior to the control in inhibiting the pneumonia associated with COVID-19, and shortening the course of the disease,” she said. “It also interferes with the glycosylation of cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may inhibit the virus-receptor binding and terminate the infection.“The antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects of chloroquine contribute to the efficacy in treating COVID-19 patients,” she said.Ms Adeyeye, however, advised the public to desist from its use without the guidance of a medical doctor or clinician for cases of clinical trial treatment of COVID-19.

Chloroquine has been in the market for quite sometimes now, why is it still undergoing another clinical trial?

Everything for Nigeria na copy and paste. Nothing authentic.

Great

They shouldn't be waiting for FDA approval,we are country and should be able to make decisions on out own...good one

They waited for FDA to give emergency approval. Lack of proactivity.

A good move. I was expecting things like this from PMB's speech but he was talking on school feeding. Does he even know that schools are on a shutdown.🙄

God please make this work.

They should supervise it properly because our brothers in Aba might see this as a new venture to make so much money...

Las las😒

Great!
