Adodo noted further  that plant-based drugs, whether crude or refined, seemed to be the best alternative approach to treat COVID-19.“At the moment, plant-based drugs, whether crude or refined, are seemingly the best alternative approach to the treatment of COVID-19 menace. The new generation of vaccine development for combating emergent diseases needed time because of safety profiling. On the other hand, plant-based formulations are easily manufactured, stored and distributed and are readily acceptable by the local population. Moreover, they can easily be handled by both professional and non-medical research personnel with no risk of contamination. The PHCRL has developed a novel drug, called PaxHerbal CVD Plus specifically for the treatment of COVID-19. These herbs have been used in several therapeutic formulations of Paxherbals over the past 25 years for the treatment of hepatitis C, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, bronchitis, pneumonia and malaria’ he concluded.
