Further clarification on treatment for #Covid19.

I never intended to prescribe a cure treatment for #Covid19.

THREAD.

I wish to clarify that I published the drugs I took when I was declared positive for covid19.
I did this in response to private calls and responses to my posts, asking me what treatment I was given.
Hence, in response, I published the medications I took.

The chloroquine regime like all other treatment regimes used all over the world is not sacrosanct and there is not sufficient clinical evidence that it is the treatment of cure. #COVID

No drug(s) or drug regime anywhere in the world can be categorically or scientifically stated as treatment of choice for #Covid19.

I have ONLY stated what drugs I was treated with in the Center I was isolated. However Lagos uses a completely different treatment regime and the results are not significantly different.

As I said, about 95% of affected people even without any hospitalization will recover from the illness.

I never intended to prescribe a cure treatment for covid19.

If you develop signs or symptoms suggestive of #Covid19 infections, consult your doctor or contact your local #NCDC (@NCDCgov) for assistance.

However I restate that taking drugs that boost your immunity will be a good preventive step against #Covid19 and will improve your potential recovery in case you become infected.

This is because even though there is no consensus on a cure drug, there is a globally accepted scientific fact that the innate competence of the level of immunity of each individual will ultimately determine the course of the illness for individual patient.

END.
