British scientists have developed a coronavirus inhaler designed to help patients fight off the disease as soon as symptoms start to show. IOL_Lifestyle coronavirus
In the trial, patients will be assessed and tested within 72 hours of developing symptoms and sent the inhaler straight away to tackle the virus.
The inhaler – which uses a drug code named SNG001 – could make a difference by allowing sufferers the ability to treat themselves rather than just hope for the best. The team have almost completed a trial involving 100 hospital patients, with results due in July. The patients who have a severe case of Covid-19 tend to develop serious symptoms – such as breathing problems and pneumonia – in the second week after contracting the virus.
Interferon beta is already used as an injection to boost the immune response of people with multiple sclerosis.
