Scientists find drug that kills COVID-19 in 48 hours COVID19 WorldHealthDay WorldHealthDay2020 coronavirus

Scientists in Australia have found an already existing drug that kills COVID-19 in the laboratory within 48 hours.Researchers at Monash University found that a single dose of Ivermectin stops the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture.

But the research is in its early stages and Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, has not yet been tested on persons infected with COVID-19. According to British tabloid Daily Mail, the next step is for scientists to determine the correct human dosage, to make sure the level used in vitro is safe for humans.‘We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,’ Daily Mail quotes Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute’s Dr Kylie Wagstaff as saying last Friday.

He added: “In times when we’re having a global pandemic and there isn’t an approved treatment, if we had a compound that was already available around the world then that might help people sooner.The study is the work of Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute and the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity.It is on the World Health Organization List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.

When used at the recommended dose, Ivermectin is generally well tolerated. Some of the common side effects include diarrhoea, nausea, dizziness and drowsiness.
