Covid-19 virus still hasn’t left Indonesia. The government is trying hard to cure patients by treating them in specialized hospitals and in the isolation room is also handled by reliable medical personnel. Corona medicine is still imported and the price is very high. The public also appreciated the Airlangga University in Surabaya in collaboration with the National Intelligence Agency and the National Disaster Management Agency that succeeded in finding a combination of drugs of another type that was more effective in combating the covid-19 virus.
Patients who are infected with the covid-19 virus must be treated in isolation and swallow drugs to ward off the deadly disease. Usually doctors prescribe a drug called chloroquine or avigan. Unfortunately both types of drugs are still imported, after all not everyone is suitable to take it. There are patients who are allergic and vomiting when taking it. Chloroquine is actually a drug to treat malaria and has side effects that can interfere with the patient’s heart rhythm.
The research team from Airlangga University Surabaya in collaboration with BIN and BNPB finally found other drug combinations that had less side effects to the patient’s body, but were still able to crush corona. These medicines are then distributed throughout Indonesia and given to doctors who treat covid-19 patients. This was said by the Chancellor of Airlangga University, Professor Muh Nasih. This discovery certainly gives new hope for corona patients to heal faster.
There are 5 combinations of drugs that can overcome the covid-19 virus. The first is lopinavir, ritonavir, and aitranisir, while the second is lopinavir, ritonavir, and doxycycline. While the third and fourth drug combinations are lopinavir, clarithromycin, and ritonavir, as well as hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. The fifth combination of drugs is hydroxyclorokluin and doxycycline. Which is the most effective in treating covid-19 virus? Depending on the condition of the corona patient and the policies of each doctor.
The combination of lopinavir and ritonavir is believed to be more effective than previous corona drugs, because it works by inhibiting the division of the virus. Even though it is actually a drug to treat HIV / AIDS, it is also given to corona patients to prevent the multiplication of covid-19 virus. While doxycycline is used to treat bacterial infections. Azithromycin is an antibiotic drug and works to prevent infection.
Hopefully the discovery of a new combination of corona drugs will cause many patients to recover quickly and not transmit the covid-19 virus to their families. We are also obliged to appreciate the efforts of the Airlangga, BIN and BNPB teams, who have worked hard to test and make a combination of drugs to overcome the covid-19 virus. They are praiseworthy for researching various types of drugs to overcome dangerous diseases and this combination of drugs must have been born from a long time experiment.
Although this combination of drugs has been announced to the public, but you should never buy it without a doctor’s prescription, let alone make a self diagnosis. This drug is indeed sold in several online stores with fantastic prices, can be 1.5 million per 100 tablets. But do not carelessly drink it because it will be very dangerous because you do not know how many tablets are needed to overcome corona. In addition, taking it while healthy is also useless, because the function of these drugs is to treat the disease, instead of preventing from the covid-19 virus. The effort and hard work of the Unair, BIN, and BNPB team to find new corona drug combinations, we must appreciation, because this research certainly requires patience and high patience. These drugs are then distributed to all hospitals in Indonesia to cure corona patients. When this combination of drugs has been broadcast to the general public, don’t buy them carelessly without a doctor’s prescription.
