“Based on the situation, the demand for the drug throughout the world is very high.

According to him, "another thing" is that this remedy "should not be used uncontrollably."
“This is not an ascorbic acid.
By and large, it can be prescribed only under the supervision of the attending physician ... I believe that a patient on his own instinct should not be able to purchase and use this drug.
In this case, I am more confused by this aspect of the issue, "Bespalov said.
At the same time, the doctor of medical sciences, virologist Anatoly Altstein stressed that the most important thing is "whether this medicine is effective or not."
“If it cures, technological ways can be found to make it cheaper,” he said.
