The group of people who have been infected before But no problem, try that covid is not detected.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Teera also stated that The above findings from this research It tends to support the hypothesis of persistent infection by the virus lurking in the cells of the body’s organs, and may be one mechanism to explain the incidence of COVID-19. with various system abnormalities in the body can be diverse in addition to the assumption Base on persistence of virus fragments for a long time And stimulate the inflammatory process in various systems of the body until abnormal symptoms follow.

The same day, the reporter was revealed by Mr. Krung Suravej Sunthon, President of the Pharmacy Association. Up to the case that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that those licensed to import anti-COVID-19 drugs which is a specially controlled drug Distributing medicines to pharmacies that According to the announcement, pharmacies will sell prescription drugs. Currently, there are two types of COVID-19 medicines: favipiravir. and molnupiravir The doctor will prescribe medication according to the symptoms specified in the treatment guidelines. is a low symptom, prescribe favipiravir, while a large number of symptoms are at high risk, such as the elderly, prescribing molnupiravir The issue is where the medicine comes from. Molnu is from Zuellig Pharma, which the drugstore has already ordered from this company. Still didn’t say where to buy from. Or have to buy from the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO), this is the point.
Mr. Krung said that Another point is that a doctor’s prescription is required. What worries us as pharmacies will be. is a prescription drug dispenser or have the power to dispense medications by themselves It’s an issue that hasn’t been settled yet. Allowing pharmacies to buy drugs on their own has reduced drug prices. In addition to the hoarding of goods Therefore, the factor is that if the government controls the drug itself. will be the bottleneck Ultimately, it will not help the patient. And it will be more speculation about Favi, because the pharmacy wants Favi, while the molenu at the drugstore can be bought from Zuellig. If the government controls the distribution of prescription drugs The market mechanism will be broken. If we release it independently, it will make it easy to access medicine. The price will be cheap.
