National Drug Authority Has Licensed Covidex To Manage Viral Infections

National Drug Authority Advises Ugandans On How To Use Covidex

Posted by: Eninu William in Uganda news July 1, 2021

The National Drug Authority (NDA) has come out to advise people on how to use Covidex shortly after it’s approval this week.

Apparently, this comes after a clash a few weeks ago between the NDA and the creators of Covidex, Mbarara University of Science and Technology’s PHARMABIOTRAC led by Prof Patrick Ogwang.

NDA advised Ogwang and his camp to drop the unsubstantiated claims of Covidex healing Covid-19 which they did.

Covidex was therefore passed on the basis that it is a complimentary drug to other medicines in treating and alleviating symptoms of viral infections.

The drug has already become a favorite amongst Ugandans with some testifying that it indeed makes wonders.

This same sentiment was echoed by NDA PR Abiaz Rwamwiri while appearing on the NBS TV program , Morning Breeze.

Rwamwiri said that Covidex is a wonderful medicine but only in alleviating symptoms of Covid 19.

“As we talk now, Covidex is a supportive treatment. It can make wonders for people but the wonders relate to alleviating symptoms of viral infections.” Rwamwiri noted.

He went ahead to say that people should use the drug on the prescription of qualified medical officers.

Rwamwiri further added that it was their duty to protect Ugandans and if the drug had not met the standards required, it would not have been certified.

He went ahead to say that NDA commits to working with all those who make herbal medicines in the country.

They created Covidex at a time when everyone is going through a hard time hence it’s certification.

The drug has now spread to almost all parts of the country and is high on demand.

This is because the users testify to its effectiveness.
