Since Pfizer was sold to tens of thousands a bottle by scalpers, many people have set their sights on Azivudine tablets , which is a domestic COVID-19 drug. Currently, this drug has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration and has entered the market as a COVID-19 treatment drug. But how effective is this drug? It is still unknown, but I believe that this drug should be no worse than Pfizer, after all, Pfizer is not strong.
Domestic Azivudine tablets have not yet undergone clinical trials against new crown . The current clinical trial has just been approved in the Philippines and has not yet been carried out. Therefore, like Pfizer, there is no scientific basis for saying that this drug is effective. Whether the drug is effective or not is a very serious matter. Only through rigorous clinical trials can we draw conclusions. It does not mean that it is put into use. Some people say that it is useful if it is taken. After all, no one knows whether it is your body that defeated the virus or the drug defeated the virus.
Clinical trial is a very serious matter. For example, 1,000 COVID-19 patients are randomly selected, 500 people take medicine, and 500 people take placebo (starch compounds), and then tell them that they are all medicines. After treatment, the physical conditions of these 800 people are compared, and then through statistics and scientific analysis, it is concluded whether the medicine has efficacy, whether it has side effects, etc.
Many people are advocating for Pfizer. When I questioned Pfizer a few days ago, many people labeled me, saying that I did not care about the life and death of the Chinese people, etc. However, the efficacy of medicines is not determined by anyone, and must be concluded through experiments. You can check online. Pfizer has gone through two clinical trials and both failed. In June 2022, the data of Pfizer's second clinical trial were released, which were (3/428) treatment group and (10/426 placebo group). However, the difference in the data was too small and eventually lost statistical significance. Generally speaking, if the comparative data is too small, the error value cannot be eliminated and it loses its meaning. In other words, among the two groups of people who took Pfizer and the placebo, there were too few death data, so the data did not meet statistical standards and had no reference significance.
Pfizer is currently actively conducting its third clinical trial, and the specific results will be released in 2023, so you may wish to wait and see. From this point of view, it is very difficult to pass clinical trials. The absence of clinical trials does not mean that Pfizer has no effect at all. Of course, it cannot be said that Pfizer is effective. But judging from the specific data, it seems to be a little stronger than the placebo.
The domestically produced Azivudine tablets have not passed clinical trials, but the pharmacology of is the same as that of Pfizer. Why do you say this? Because these two drugs are related to the treatment of AIDS , as we all know, AIDS is also a viral disease. Therefore, the two drugs have a certain effect on the virus. No one can draw a conclusion on whether they can treat COVID-19. They can only wait for the results of clinical trials.
This can also give us some inspiration. If we cannot buy Azivudine tablets and Pfizer, can we give some placebos to the elderly? For example, buy some health medicines, such as , vitamins, , etc., and secretly change the medicine bottles. If an old man at home gets sick, you let him take it, and then tell him that this is the special medicine you bought, and he will be fine after taking it. Sometimes, the psychology of the elderly is very important. Nervousness and fear often aggravate the condition. Sometimes placebos can also work.
I have a say in the efficacy of placebo. Not long ago, an old man in my family got cancer in the late stage . He didn't want to go to the hospital. He refused to go there, so he treated it at home. When he reached the advanced stage, his body ached and felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't buy painkillers. Ordinary painkillers had no effect. The family gave the old man a piece of vitamin B2, saying it was a painkiller, and then the old man said it no longer hurt.
Therefore, sometimes placebos can indeed relieve the nervousness of the elderly, regulate body functions, activate immunity , and ultimately defeat the virus. Of course, this is just my conjecture. I am not a medical expert and have no right to speak. Just take a look.But from a side perspective, don’t panic if the elderly at home get sick. As a child, you must stay calm and tell the elderly that the disease is not that scary. You must comfort the elderly emotionally so that the disease can heal faster. Don't make yourself nervous and restless after the elderly person gets sick, but before the elderly person recovers. This will often be counterproductive.
