@HunDriverWidow @noorul@quey.org @stux some drug companies manage to source all their ingredients within India itself.

For ex. Hetero pharma makes both #Remdesivir & #Favipiravir from completely Indian sources, without any Chinese dependencies !!

#Favipiravir

Drug cost Rs. 103 per 100mg tablet, dose, 1400 mg first day, 800 mg tab following 14 days, clear to me, this drug is nothing but another pharma money making machine.

#Favipiravir

Make no mistakes, as per the manufacturer, this drub will treat only mild to moderate cases of #COVID19 cases which is already being treated as of today.

#Favipiravir

So this drug is in use against Novel viruses in Japan since 2004 and the Indian manufacturer claims it be to drub for #COVID19.

Atleast 5 Indian companies(Strides, Brinton, Glenmark, LaurusLabs, & RaghavaLifeSciences) are working on manufacturing #favipiravir

This is a drug developed for influenza & its patent has expired now

Earlier only 2 countries had approved this
Japan — as a last resort for influenza
Guinea — approved for Ebola

Russia is now the first country to approve this drug for Covid

Indian govt yet to be convinced. They still recommend only HCQ

Russia’s AVIFAVIR, #favipiravir based #COVID19 drug has been registered & APPROVED by Russian health ministry. Thus, has achieved the status of world’s 1st registered drug for #covid treatment.

Avifavir more than halves the duration of the disease, ensuring most patients are free of infection after 5th day of treatment

90% pts tested -ve on day 10
