Covidex hasn t passed science test, & that is a problem
July 14, 2021 The Covidex herbal drug
I read a story in
The Observer with dismay that a pharmacist, Pamela Achii, and the director of research at the Natural Chemotherapeutics Institute, Dr Grace Nambatya, attempted to override the National Drug Authority (NDA), which is tasked with approving drugs that are used in Uganda.
I am also surprised that NDA has approved Covidex, a drug that has not been subjected to any studies, skirting the authority’s own established protocols.
Equally concerning is that NDA now requires randomized clinical trials on the same drug as an afterthought, which is the very reason it had declined to approve Covidex. Any medication, including one for herbal, should never have been manufactured and put on the market without the approval of NDA.
