not just vaccines
Even monoclonal antibodies as a weapon against Covid
Experts: They are powerful weapons . Two drugs have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration
Monoclonal antibodies to accompany the vaccine. This is the direction in which we are going to fight the coronavirus more effectively, considering that the approval of the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccine will have delays, as declared by the European Medicines Agency. But not only for this: even if in the first quarter of 2021 5 million people were vaccinated, the first significant effects could only become evident at the end of March. There are powerful and targeted drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies, and two of these have already been approved in the United States , say pharmacologist Carlo Centemeri, of the Giovanni Lorenzini Medical Foundation MI-NY, and virologist Francesco Broccolo, of the University of Milan Bicocca.
