| Summary: | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is a public
health emergency of international concern, without known
effective pharmaceutical treatment so far. It is difficult to
treat infected patients who are experiencing acute
respiratory failure, liver or cardiac injury, gastroenteritis
and many other complications without any drug
recommendation. Reducing the viral load is the most
important key for Covid-19 treatment, where complication
due to infection is highly correlated with the number of
viral particles present in the lung and other organs of the
patient. Most antivirals are effective against a wide range
of viruses, where they inhibit viral development. Some of
the possible antiviral treatment options for COVID-19
could be discovered from flu viral treatment that had led
to quick respiratory illness recovery through reduction of
viral load and viral shedding. |
