The US Food and Drug Administration granted “FDA” permission to produce the world’s first antiviral tablet to treat patients with the Corona virus, in the name of “Merck”.
According to “Russia Today”, a number of members of the administration said, at the conclusion of the voting meeting, that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks of its use, especially for people infected with the Corona virus who are at risk of developing severe disease within five days of symptoms appearing.
A number of its members made it clear that they wanted to specifically exclude pregnant women from the permit granted to produce the drug, according to the agency.
A trial in unvaccinated people who had recently contracted “Covid-19”, and they are at risk of developing serious illness, showed that the drug Merck reduced hospitalizations and deaths by 30%.
