A Bangladeshi medical team has claimed that their research on the combination of two widely used drugs has yielded great results in curing the patients with acute symptoms of the coronavirus
Sources claim, the medical team led by a senior doctor obtained miraculous results with the usage of antiprotozoal medicine called Ivermectin which is a parasite killing drug, along with Doxycycline which is an antibiotic.
It is said that both the drugs were given to 60 patients admitted with respiratory problems who later tested positive for Covid-19 and all the 60 patients recovered with the combination of both the drugs in a time frame of four days.
Professor Dr Tarek Alam, Head of Medicine Department, Bangladesh Medical College Hospital (BMCH), a senior member of the medical team said “We have got astounding results. Out of 60 Covid-19 patients, all recovered as the combination of the two drugs were applied. My team was prescribing the two medicines only for coronavirus patients, most of them initially reporting with respiratory problems with related complaints, later to be tested Covid-19 positive,”
Also, none of the patients showed any side effects and all of them tested negative for the virus in the repeated or the second test.
The team is now preparing to publish their research in an international journal to make it available to health experts across the world.
