The world's first oral drug to treat COVID-19 is about to be born. How safe is this medicine?

The world's first oral drug for COVID-19 will be born. The safety of this drug has been clinically verified by Merck in the United States, and it has been clearly able to treat COVID-19. However, the cure rate of this oral drug is not 100%. In clinical verification, the cure rate of this oral drug is as high as 50%. Therefore, Merck believes that this drug for COVID-19's oral drugs can be marketed! But the clinical trial of this drug is rather hasty! The clinical trials conducted in the United States are still very limited, and no clinical trials have been conducted internationally. Most people think that the safety of this COVID-19 oral drug may not stand scrutiny.

As we all know, the COVID-19 vaccine we are injecting now was approved for production and sale only after a rigorous phase III clinical trial. In this way, in order to ensure the safety of this oral drug, I think clinical trials should be conducted in many countries around the world, and the final results can completely prove the safety of this drug.

Netizens are hotly discussing.

Although COVID-19's oral medicine is about to be born, netizens in China said that they only trust vaccines and drugs produced by China Pharmaceutical Company. We all know that American medicine is actually ahead of us! But why don't China netizens buy American medicine at this time? Most importantly, the epidemic situation in the United States has not improved so far, which has made China netizens lose confidence in the fight against the epidemic in the United States and indirectly lost confidence in American pharmaceutical companies! As netizens in China said, let Americans take it first and see the effect before deciding whether to try this medicine.

Anxious

A drug, remember not to rush to the market, after all, it is a drug. If its safety is not fully demonstrated, it will be listed blindly. Once there is a problem, it will affect many people! Therefore, the emergence of oral drugs in COVID-19 is a good thing, but we should be cautious again!

The world's first oral drug for COVID-19 will be born, and the safety of this drug needs to be fully verified!
