Bhubaneswar: Apex Laboratories Private Limited, a Chennai based pharmaceutical company known for its cutting-edge research and innovation, introduces Clevira, an antiviral herbal formulation.
Clevira was developed primarily to treat dengue patients in 2017. Last year as the COVID-19 cases surged in the country, it was repurposed as supportive treatment for mild to moderate COVID symptoms. The product is available across India and is priced at Rs 11 per tablet.
A clinical trial was conducted on 100 people in May-June 2020 and the results were promising.
During the 30 days trial, conducted at Government Medical College, Omandurar Government Estate Chennai, after approval from the Tamil Nadu government, the selected 100 participants were randomized into 2 Groups with 50 patients in each: the control group comprised of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection received standard care treatment as per hospital regulation as well as the WHO/ICMR guidelines. The test group patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection received, along with standard care treatment (as per hospital regulation and the WHO/ICMR guidelines) Clevira tablets twice daily orally after food for 14 days. It was found that Clevira significantly reduced the time taken for clinical recovery, which was noted in terms of reduction in pyrexia or body pain, normalisation of the respiratory rate ( less than 24/minute), improvement in oxygen saturation level ( more than 94%), etc.
