National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has emphasized that without clinical trial authorized by the Agency, nobody can claim that a product can cure COVID-19. A statement signed by the NAFDAC Resident Media Consultant, Sayo Akintola in Abuja on Sunday, stated that the Director General of NAFDAC, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, had set up an herbal medicine product committee in March 2019 before the pandemic broke out to advance research in herbal medicine. If you eat Garlic and Onion and you don’t use mask you will get COVID -19. if you are in a very bad environment; If you dont watch your hands, you will get COVID -19. “NAFDAC cannot say herbal medicine can treat COVID -19 until clinical trial is done. Right now, there is no single herbal medicine that has gone through full clinical trial the way clinical trial is supposed to be done.
