    A new remedy for coronavirus has been developed at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research of Uzbekistan. Through the joint efforts of pharmacists and pharmacologists of this institute, a multicomponent drug "Antikovir" was created on the basis of natural and mineral sources, through biotechnological and chemical synthesis.

    The components of the drug have anticoagulant, antioxidant, cytoprotective, immunomodulatory effects, and also provide antibacterial and antiviral activity.
    Clinical studies have shown high efficacy in 92% of patients and no undesirable side effects were noted in the study group.

On February 14, 2022, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan registered "Antikovir" as an antiviral drug recommended for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus infection and postcovid syndrome.
