The number of deaths in Germany, which has about 100 thousand corona patients, is low compared to other countries and is expected to decrease further.
While Germany was discussing the gradual reduction of measures, some shops were allowed to open in Austria.
In the meantime, 3 drugs used for treatment of severe corona patients have been announced in many European countries, including Germany, which is the leader with more than 40 thousand intensive care beds.
TESTED ON 3200 PATIENTS
According to the researches coordinated by the organization called INSERM, the drugs that have been tried and achieved on 3200 patients are listed.
At the top of the list is Remdesivir, which was developed against ebola.
Another effective res restoring 80-year-old Bayer product of malaria drug Chloroquin.
These are followed by the drug combination Lopinavir / Ritonavir. This drug is used mostly against HIV viruses that cause AIDS.
APPLICATION RESULTS ABOUT DRUGS
CHLOROQUIN: Resochin, developed 80 years ago by the German Bayer pharmaceutical company, has positive and healing effects on corona patients.
“We have seen Resochin suppress the virus in laboratory and clinical applications,” said Bayer CEO Wener Baumann.
It is stated that this drug should be used in intensive doses and that its side effects are compulsory to be examined separately.
German Health Minister Jens Spahn has announced that they store high amounts of Chloroquin for Germany.
The Bayer company has also taken action for further production of this drug in Europe.
REMDESIVIR: The drug, which the American Gilead company has started to receive orders from hospitals and doctors all over the world, is used in 50 hospitals in the world together with three large hospitals in Germany.
The Schwabing Hospital in Munich, where the first corona patient came in Germany, was also the first hospital in Germany to treat the patient with corona.
While the drug was used on the one hand, the laboratory results revealed that it was effective against the corona virus.
“If it is allowed to be used in the near future, we will do everything necessary for everyone in the world,” American pharmaceutical firm Gilead said.
The drug, which the World Health Organization is working on, is expected to be released as of the end of this month.
LOPINAVIR / RITONAVIR COMBINATION: This combination used against HIV virus that causes AIDS (Kaletra / Aluvia) can also be effective against many other viruses.
Trials in China have shown, however, that this drug has not been very successful against corona.
There are those who attribute the reason to using it late. However, Abbvie, the manufacturer of the drug, still provides support for the continuation of clinical trials.
This drug is currently only viewed as hope.
