Summary
I was sent home with Favipiravir pills, the new Covid-19 drug that has allegedly increased the number of daily recoveries to hundreds in Rwanda.
They might be efficient but they are the worst pills I have ever taken. My body would shut down after taking them. They made me weak, nauseous and extremely thirsty.
They require an abnormally huge amount of food before intake, something I am not a fan of.
