New Delhi: Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla may introduce a medicine to treat corona virus in the next six months.
If this happens, Cipla could become the first Indian company to invent the Corona virus drug. For this, the company is working on developing corona drugs in collaboration with government laboratories, as well as on the use of medicines related to breathing problems, asthma, anti-viral drugs and HIV drugs. Corona virus cases are increasing in the country. So far, 259 cases have been reported.
Cipla promoter Yusuf Hamid told the Times of India, “We are considering our national duty to dump all our resources for the benefit of the country.” He said that the company has doubled the production of these drugs.
Cipla has already distributed the anti-inflammatory drug Actemra of Switzerland-based company Rochez to India, which will be used to treat serious lung problems. He also said that if the Indian medical world decides, the company has more medicines that can be used.
