‘Not ayurvedic’: CSIR on plant-based drug ACQH to be tested for Covid treatment
Centre of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Director-General Dr Shekhar C Mande spoke on the clinical trials of phytopharmaceutical ACQH.
“We’re going to try it against Covid-19.
It’s historic in modern medicine, especially in India.
We have a chance to tap our traditional knowledge system and its limitless possibilities,” he said.
Indian drugmaker Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd said on Friday it was testing a plant-derived drug, AQCH, for the potential treatment of Covid-19 as part of a mid-stage trial, with results expected by October.
