The coronavirus caseload in India is rising continuously and till now 32 million people have been infected across the country. Meanwhile, iSera Biologicals, a Kolhapur-based company, is testing a new drug that will cure COVID-19 patients in just 90 hours.
The coronavirus drug is made from horse antibodies, which will play an important role in the treatment of patients with mild and moderate symptoms. If this drug is successful in all the trials then it will be India's first indigenous drug of its kind, which will be used to treat the infection.
As per a Zee News report citing another report, officials of the company iSera Biologicals claim that the first phase of the drug trial is underway and the results that have come out so far have been very good. With the use of this drug in the initial test, the RT-PCR report of corona infected patients is turning negative within 72 to 90 hours.
