As the medical experts across the world are racing to find a cure for coronavirus, Australian scientists have claimed that ‘Ivermectin’, an anti-parasitic drug, can kill the highly-contagious virus in human body within 48 hours.
A collaborative study was led by Monash University’s Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) in Melbourne, Australia, with the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), EurekAlert reported.
The scientists revealed that a single dose of the drug stopped coronavirus — medically named ‘SARS-CoV-2’ — from growing in cell culture within 48 hours.
