ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Task Force on Science and Technology Chairman Dr Attaur Rahman on Sunday said that combination of two drugs would have better results in treating coronavirus patients. “The Americans had tested Hydroxychloroquine as a viable treatment option for coronavirus patients but the results were unsatisfactory. We hope that in Pakistan, Hydroxychloroquine and Erthromycine would produce good results,” he added. The task force chairman said that the research was underway in different labs of Pakistan for identifying the stages of mutation. Thirdly, he said, a pharmaceutical company had acquired a shrub from China and for approval, the summery has been sent to the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP).
