New drug combination found effective against coronavirus infection: Study

Deccan Chronicle  

London: A new drug combination can suppress infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, according to a study conducted in animals and cell cultures. "This combination effectively suppresses the infection, said Denis Kainov, a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's. "SARS-CoV-2 and its vaccine/immune-escaping variants continue to pose a serious threat to public health due to a paucity of effective, rapidly deployable, and widely available treatments," the authors of the study noted. "Our study may provide a proactive solution for the ongoing pandemic and potential future coronavirus outbreaks, which is still urgently required in many parts of the world," they added.
